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

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
