Pros

If you are in the right group, you may get lunches/team building/management engagement.

Cons

- 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.

Pros

A few years ago Cubic was a great place to work as it offered employees the opportunity to work in more than their area of expertise, which was both stimulating and rewarding for both Cubic and the employee.

Cons

Cubic has grown, and now is being run more like any other company that cares more about the bottom line than it does its employees. The loyalty that both employee and employer enjoyed are gone, replaced by chasing after the last buck... very unfortunate to see such a great home grown company sell out.

Pros

Like anywhere - some quality people.

Cons

I found the company and its organizations dysfunctional, dishonest, and unprofessional. Managers would not stand up for their employees. Executives micro managed and lied - placed all blame on subordinates or partners. I was warned about Cubic. I didn't listen. You should.
