What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The workload is not balanced. Not everyone is qualified for all the tasks in their positions (like training/teaching). Upper management does not seem interested in our job satisfaction.
Review from Engineering Dept
The executive team and HR are more concerned with PR (e.g., purchasing awards like this one) than resolving actual issues, like disparity in pay and benefits, offering telework options, addressing the nepotism, etc.

As compared with the recent market and based on the tight deadline projects and the work, I believe compensation is less than the market.

KUBRA is still below market value for salaries.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Review from Engineering Dept
KUBRA hires the cheapest candidates they can find -- typically desperate candidates who require employment for their visas -- who lack the experience, skills, or talent necessary for the job positions they fill. The company just commenced outsourcing American and Canadian jobs to India.
Review from Engineering Dept
Coworkers focus on (and are rewarded for) producing quantity over quality, resulting in low-quality software that is poorly engineered and just plain doesn't work.

Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
There is a failure by the company to recognize employees as their most valuable asset, and treat them accordingly. The company needs to stop exhibiting reckless disregard for human health and safety, e.g., with respect to keeping people safe from COVID-19.
Review from Engineering Dept
KUBRA exhibits huge favoritism, special treatment, and rewards to a privileged few. HR is incompetent (can't manage basic tasks like payroll), instead focusing on secondary, useless tasks, like competing for 3rd party awards or planning social events. Company doesn't care about employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
The casual conversation with the interviewers and interviewees.
Review from Engineering Dept
Interactive questions with good technical construction
Review from Engineering Dept
Take home assessments and online screenings
Review from Engineering Dept
The interview didn't take multiple days or even multiple hours. The interviewers asked questions relevant to the job role and did not waste time testing how well you can memorize algorithms.
Review from Engineering Dept
I liked the use of a timed coding problem that was relatively free-form (not requiring programming within hard-to-use applications). Good interactions with the team during in-person interviews.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Focus should be shifted from hiring the cheapest candidates to hiring the right candidates. The bottom-of-the-barrel candidates who do accept the low ball offers frequently leave, sometimes within weeks, not having the skills for the job and receiving a better offer elsewhere.
Review from Engineering Dept
Eliminate the nepotism/favoritism. Some people have been hired without being subjected to the full, normal hiring process (e.g., bypassing interviews, only interviewing a single candidate and not considering others, etc.).
Review from Engineering Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Positive environment and quality work
Review from Engineering Dept
Good working environment and positive thinking about the work
Review from Engineering Dept
Team and new things to learn
Review from Engineering Dept
Getting to work for a great company and great team members.
Review from Engineering Dept
work in peace, have a snack when hungry, catch-up on some activities during lunch.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
A good start would be to treat employees with basic dignity and respect.
Review from Engineering Dept
Open office floor plan makes it impossible to accomplish work during work hours. Company's telework policy only allows employees to work remotely once or twice a month, and only under extenuating circumstances. Company puts profit before its own people.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about your company?
The company supports building the right product for our customers and not cutting corners just for speed or profit.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
There are still quite a few managers either more interested in making something not their problem or quoting the former-CTO as the reason they're running things a certain way.
