Pros

Your work product is important, and makes a difference in the world.

Cons

How to read the Glassdoor reviews - look at how many times they have been clicked as "helpful". By and large the helpful ones are true. Ignore the reviews at the top of the page, because Cubic HR shills posted false info and paid Glassdoor to move them to the top. By and large the 5 star reviews that have not been upvoted are fake. The real average is down below 3 stars, maybe around 2. Veritas is squeezing the life out out the company. Salaries have dropped below the industry norm. Raises are pathetic. They are shedding all the engineers in the US through attrition (no new hires in spite of a nearly 20% attrition rate). I am working 15 hours a day trying to keep my projects together (which says something worrisome about me).

Pros

Decent Pay, great co-workers, pretty flexible hours. The studio style building layout is pretty nice and the dress code is relaxed.

Cons

If you are hired here, then you will work nights, weekends and holidays and then be let go when the project is complete. There is No work/life balance and no job security. There have been multiple major layoffs in 2 of the past 3 years during production on a large contract. Healthy companies do not lay off half their workforce at the height of a large-scale production. There is No future here. I’ve never seen lower morale anywhere and management seems to think starting an achievement-based rewards program and executing it exactly one time before stopping the program is a great way to build confidence. It is very possible that you will be shot or solicited by a prostitute in or near the work parking lot.

Pros

Cubic is a collection of smaller companies through acquisitions and that's the charm of it. Lots of small cultures who can come together to really produce products and services faster than bigger companies. Depending on where you land you'll be joining a small pocket that has its own culture and performance methods. So really, the three stars is because it's not one company, their is no constant. The only constant is the Corporate culture which I'll describe in the cons below.

Cons

The Corporate culture stinks. Due to COVID business impacts the company froze 401K matching and merit raises (pay raises) until October 2021. But then went on to have a record 4th Quarter business. It's public knowledge, look up the earnings that were reported. That's a major way to lose the trust of your employees. The Corp front office said one thing "freezing benefits to not lay people off" then went on to have a record fourth quarter and provided ZERO raises to the people who worked their butts off to enable that to happen and are going to keep everyone at their pay levels until October 2021. That's a bad Corporate team. No understanding of the messages it tells employees, and it gives no incentive for employees to be working as hard as they do to make the company have a record quarter.
