Cubic Reviews

Leadership doesn't truly value their people as they say they do. Staff are given unreasonable demands and seriously limited resources and are disposable when needed to make the financials look better. The company underbids and over-promises on contracts and then puts the pressure on staff to make it happen. Staff bend over backwards and pull off miracles on a daily basis; there is no work-life balance here if you want to be successful. Working nights and weekends are expected and is applauded vs seen as a systemic issue needed to be resolved. Cubic makes 2-3 acquisitions a year and puts no real resources behind properly integrating them into the firm from a process, culture or technology perspective. This is compounding inefficiencies. I think leadership understands where the issues lie, but they don't want to invest the time and money in fixing them for the long-term. It's all about short term financial results and cost savings. The low morale of your coworkers, the feeling of everything being harder than it should, and not being valued by leadership makes this a tough place to work. It's the kind of place that puts a pit in your stomach as you drive into the office in the morning.

The legacy culture of caring and taking care of employees has been exterminated by the current Executive Leadership. "Walter Zable, founder, is rolling in his grave!" is the murmur you hear as you walk through the corridors. Cold, calculating measures are taken to reduce work -force , folks with decades under their belt are escorted out . Reductions in force are rampant, outsourcing of key functions are sent to India, and now no 401k match or pay increases. Mark my word, Covid was not the cause, this was due to poor management and overspending to purchase new businesses and buildings, without proper planning. CEO has a reputation for being a Dictator and CFO sees cost cutting like a with a Clearance cutter with a machete, all the while CHRO stands by and does nothing.
