Pros

Relatively easy hiring process and relaxed environment

Cons

You must be careful as this is a big gamble. I joined in January this year, having had my start date pushed back 6 months. I was promised that the problems were over and the future looked bright for deployment. This was not the case. We were coming to the end of our training and made redundant with minimal notice and care. This shows a gateway into tech which is not really there, as Kubrick used to fill a hole in the market which is no longer required since the demand for those roles has greatly decreased. I would strongly advise people look elsewhere if ever considering Kubrick as they are hugely unreliable. Tech is a tough gig to get into but Kubrick is not the answer so do not trust this company with your development. The training as well could use a lot of fine tuning as did not make me feel ready for a role at all.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to hear you found the trainers to be supportive and that this was a great route into data and tech, however we are sorry to hear you were impacted by the recent redundancies. This was not a decision we wanted to make, and we can assure you that all alternative avenues were explored first. We always take a prudent approach to hiring however due to the ongoing economic slowdown and the nature of our business model we have had to make some very tough decisions to reduce our bench. Unfortunately, we were unable to fulfil the full employee value proposition for some of hires in providing client experience post 15 weeks training. We have since turned off hiring in the UK and are focused on placing consultants that are currently on the bench, whilst giving them opportunities to upskill through a variety of initiatives. We will also be adopting a more stringent approach in future to minimise the chances of this happening again, however due to the nature of our business requiring us to hire consultants at least six months prior to their placement date, there is always a challenge in predicting expected sales volumes especially in an uncertain economic environment. We wish you the best of luck in your career and thank you again for sharing your experience. Kubrick

Pros

There’s are some good pros to this job, You have the chance to get flown out to London for 15 weeks of mediocre training and you will meet some of the most amazing people and make lots of friends.

Cons

-During my training we sat around for a week because the person in charge of our project left the company so they didn’t know what to do with us. - this company is notorious for doing layoffs, and one round of layoffs just happened because they way over hired. They then proceeded to blame it on conflict in the Middle East.
