Cubic does not offer competitive salary for the Austin area.
From an engineering perspective all the below will vary by program.
- Lack of product mindset and product ownership skills on the leadership team result in unclear priorities and an expectation for engineering to implement features that are not yet defined.
- Disdain for iterative product development techniques under Agile; the organization prefers to use augmented + outsourced headcount to scale instead. There is an attempt at using SAFe, an unsafe scaled agile framework.
- Maintain a legacy system that has never been cleaned up in its 20+ year hot-potato history across many development teams and many different sets of leadership teams.
- Tech debt & massive tech stack results in difficulty becoming efficient at anything.
