From the Vault Reports site, re:CUBE...Another noted, “In my humble opinion, C-Cube possesses great engineering talent, but in the hands of lousy management. Though C-Cube has faced keen competition in the VCD and DVD markets, I think bad management is at the hands of the recent fall in stock price.” Though company culture varies by department, C-Cube tends to fall in line with the casual dress and flexible hours typical to the hi-tech industry. “We don't have a dress code and the work hours are flexible,” one reported, “On the average, we put in 45 hours a week.” Employees report that hours get hectic around project deadlines. One warned, “The working schedule can get tight. You might need to work extra hours without extra pay, and may need to come in on weekends.” “Working hours are flexible- as long as you meet project schedules,” another reported. Though one employee said, “C-Cube pays competitively,” another reported, “The pay is significantly below the market, however, the company gives incentive stock options as compensation, which is good if you join at the right time and the right price.” C-Cube's perks are standard, including Medical Dental, and Profit Sharing in addition to stock options. The company offers tuition reimbursement to employees pursuing jobs related to their jobs. Employees say they are judged by performance, not gender or ethnicity. Though there are few females in engineering, employees note that, “minorities are the majority in the Engineering department.” The Vice President of Engineering is Asian-American, and Gregorio Reyes, a Hispanic, sits on the company's eight-member board of directors.
