Pros

Good people trying to grow

Cons

While the desire is there, the CEO and his leadership appear incapable of achieving stated goals. Misguided acquisitions and neglect of the company’s greatest resource - it’s employees - do not bode well. Toxic culture and constant reduction of benefits. No sense of security or stability. HR is a mess.

Top Down Toxic

Pros

The rank and file are some of the best, hardworking people I've ever worked with. Compensation seems on par or better for the area, good benefits.

Cons

The company tries to roll out initiatives and improve the culture, but there can be no improvement since the toxic culture comes from the very top. The CEO gives lip service to things like diversity, work/life balance and things like that, but his actions show that he actually doesn't care about any of it. He's created an atmosphere of fear and backstabbing and has surrounded himself with yes-men (and women) who are eager to do his bidding and will throw anyone under the bus to do it. Overpaid VPs do jobs that no one can explain. Meanwhile, the employees actually doing the work are either laid off or are leaving for greener pastures. Everyone is squeezed and forced to work long hours with no recognition or appreciation. In fact, the harder we work, the harder we're driven by management.

Pros

HR pays for the first three reviews to appear good. HR will also post reviews themselves to keep review score high and bury low scores. Do you enjoy quarterly lay-offs that rotate across business units? Execu-doublespeak in the form of incompetent statements like "Flexible engineering with 1 week to 3 month agile sprints in an adaptive waterfall model?" Death March project timelines, a BD group that oversells to the point of causing talented new management to leave, and a place where you can be praised for poor leadership decisions that cause worker over stress and punished for caring about your employees? Then Cubic and it's subsidiaries is the right place for you! As an added bonus if you're in the engineering skillset you are treated as though you are a non-union manufacturing floopr worker of "engineering widgets" so get ready to crank yourself to death!

Cons

Bullying - Older employees will simply override you, in front of others in meetings. A narcissistic cesspool of old age thinking and setting up silos. Do not work here if you are not Boomer or embody 21st century business ideals and leadership. Death march projects with no budge on timeline, dollars, or scope. Culture of "yes" to everything needed to "win the customer" but no mindset of ensuring it is also a win for the company, over commitance to contracts without the staff to deliver. Overwork, poor benefits, low pay, management that wants change yet refuses to change and try new things, a culture that touts they do great things for HR marketing but internally does not embody what they say to the world. Sexism, racism, and ageism - in the form of young people don't know anything, and ideas will only be crushed or stolen.
