KUBRA

KUBRA's people and culture are a huge positive - from the physical office environment which has been updated to a more modern look to the social events and number of other perks, coming into work is always fun.

In addition, KUBRA and specifically management has made a strong push for change over the last couple of years having made a number of improvements to its employee offerings, including more flexible work arrangements like summer hours programs and work from home options. They implemented TINYpulse that allows employees to submit feedback that goes to management (executives) and HR anonymously and the feedback turns into action. It's clear they take employee feedback seriously and want to continue to improve.

Some other pros include:
- Career advancement opportunities (so many people are promoted internally or move to new positions)
- Management is highly open to feedback and change
- Great perks and benefits (Work from home, education subsidies, vacation, etc)
- Social events and celebrations
- Great snack options (drinks, fresh foods, candies and other snacks)
- The people and culture are amazing - KUBRA has won culture awards
- Continuing education reimbursement

There are not many cons to think of as the company continues to improve in weak areas. Some complain of salaries but the company has taken steps to become more competitive - recently modified its bonus program and communicated major increases especially for competitive tech roles. Those who complain of low salaries are most likely low performers. 

There is no RRSP's for Canadian Employees, which is a huge bummer, but it's been communicated that this may be offered in the near future which is exciting. 

Overall the company is headed in the right direction and cares about its people.

A typical day at work involves the following:

- responding to client requests and issues
- debugging business applications for errors and implementing fixes
- develop customized solutions to the existing website based on client requirements 
- attend client meetings to go over project milestones and requirements analysis

At Kubra, I got the opportunity to develop my skills and knowledge of using ASP.NET in real world applications.  In addition, I learned how to communicate with clients and was able to improve on my project management and multitasking in order to meet tight deadlines.

My co-workers are very approachable and are always willing to lend assistance whenever required.  We often organize events outside of work such as basketball and pub nights.

The most challenging aspect about my job is to be able to juggle multiple tasks at the same time.  The breadth of knowledge required is enormous which is why I'm constantly learning new things each and everyday.  Our role requires that we have a solid understanding of every business process because in addition to working behind the scenes performing code changes, we also provide support for our clients.

What I find to be the most enjoyable thing about work is that since I'm constantly learning new things, there is never a dull day.  Kubra is a company that always seeks to develop new technologies in order to improve process efficiency and the overall client experience.  As a result, I receive plenty of opportunities to test new implementations and offer feedback if required.

Fast past, fun environment, open door policy.
Nothing much else to say other than it's just business as usual.

KUBRA was a nice balance of freedom and structure. If I needed to do something and was uncertain of the standard way KUBRA handled it then it would not take long for me to find either documentation regarding the task or someone who was able and willing to assist me. Other times, when I knew what had to be done, I had the flexibility to accomplish these tasks regardless of whether they related directly to my area of work or not thanks to the positive and team-centric work environment.

Fast-paced and very steep learning curve at first, but plenty of room for horizontal movement if you're unsure of where you fit or vertical movement once you're sure of what path you want to head down.

There is a high amount of workload with minimum compensation. It is hard to resolve issues as the teams within the company like to pushback so cooperation is to a minimum. Most of the product is already made so all the coding you will be doing is code maintenance or enhancements. New projects are based off the base code and setting up new settings in the system.

Your co-workers may be nice but there is a lot of nepotism in management and I have been told countless times to stop pushing something because they are related to the CEO.

I really wouldn't recommend, there is a high turnover rate and it is based on the workload.

KUBRA is a company that once had a great idea and made a ton of money selling it, but as they grew they both refused to adapt to the size of their own company and the changing market. A mid-size company running like it's still just a couple of guys in a garage with a printer. The greatest challenge is trying to support a product with shoddy coding, no knowledge transfer, no documentation, no change management and processes that are only followed when convenient. The upside is that you can get hired and retained with minimum experience or effort, so this can be a great stepping stone for recent grads or those looking to advance, but don't count on spending the next 5-8 years here unless you're a glutton for punishment.

If you get a job here, you will mostly being doing mild adjustments to base applications to match new client marketing styles. If you are lucky you will get a job on the product team who's main job is to push untested and broken updates to production which will cause so many headaches. 

They are all about getting as many clients signed up and shoving products out that door that are not quality and will require months of clean up to correct issues that were not properly tested internally or externally.

Not only have I been given the ability to implement new projects and ideas but, I also feel like my feedback is taken seriously. Upper management consistently reviews real feedback and suggestions from employees. It's encouraging to see most of feedback being implemented as well! KUBRA has one of the best work cultures I've ever experienced. Their HR team is constantly trying to improve employee engagement and wellness initiatives. I love coming to work everyday and am excited about continuing my career at KUBRA.

The junior programmer position will provide you with minimal exposure to web development. You will be working mostly with front-end updates and SQL changes. When they say you will be the first point of contact with clients, that means that when things break(which they will, far to often) the clients will be calling you and be looking for immediate correction.

The teams are spread out so think many mistakes are made, this is only amplified by the terrible base code that keeps being implemented into every new project. Management trys to be new age by having things like a Foosball table, don't be fooled though they frown upon people using it and throw it in their faces. I really learned what not to do with this company.
