Pros

- 9/10 people are incredible to work with and will make friends for life. (The only reason this review is 2 stars). - Decent Benefits and Scottish Widows Pension scheme.

Cons

- The workload expected is monumental. - The staffing is a real issue. - The lack of communication between Teams is incredibly terrible. - There is little to no communication between management and then management to employees. - Too much secrecy. - Questions are prohibited and frownd upon, likely due to the lack of communication. - HR literally runs the business. - During Covid, HR secretly changed their contracts to make sure they could all work from home. - Whatever Logic dictates, Cubic do the exact opposite. repeatedly. - The more popular you are, the more likely you are to get promoted. - No progressive training programs. - No courses provided. - Staff are expected to train new staff and maintain their normal workload. - Poor business/budgetting. - Terrible Process management. Lack of interest in improving processes.

Pros

The few people left in the trenches are the Heroes!!!!

Cons

Cubic found a way to normalize the abnormal. No amount of hustle will fix a place that runs on Dysfunction. No level of loyalty will reform leadership that protects its own bad behavior. Culture rewards politics over performance. Accountability only flows downward. Highest performers are exhausted and the worst behavior is excused that's an Infrastructure problem. It's not my job to fix a company that is comfortable being broken.
