- There was a continual concern of job security. Cubic would often have "advisors" in to determine which jobs could be eliminated or out-sourced.
- Groups within Cubic are treated vastly differently - certain favored groups get lunches/team building days/etc. - other groups get nothing
- Career development is non-existent; Cubic has on numerous occasions shown they would prefer to hire from outside than train and develop internally
- Training of any kind is discouraged; usually, financial constraints are sited for denying training
- Talent is not recognized or rewarded; individuals are often ignored until they resign - then and only then do they offer more money and a new position/title
- Middle management feels powerless to assist employees with any career/position assistance; I voiced my desire to move to a new position and possibly advance my career, but my manager gave me no advice or help
- Internal recruitment ignores internal applications; further proof the company would much prefer to hire from outside than promote internally
- Individuals are "awarded" job titles and advancement for political reasons only; I knew numerous individuals that had job titles that in no way related to their knowledge or abilities
- C-suite changes often cause projects to be canceled at about 80% complete; directions in my area change every time there is a C-suite is appointed; this happens often
- Volatile work environment - I had numerous managers in the years I worked there. Most of the managers were not engaged and either left the company or were dismissed.
