Pros
These reviews seem to be dedicated to those who have had negative experiences working at Umbra. From the perspective of someone who has been employed there for many years, I can honestly say that though challenging at times (as all work places are), my personal experiences here have been rewarding. This company is innovative and creative. People really care about design, and there are a lot of smart and talented people past and present who have had great careers here.
Cons
Business decisions often change, as do designs (more than people would like) but there is a bigger picture that not everyone is involved in. This is a big, complicated ship and not everyone agrees with the way it is running, but all must admit that it is growing, and products and distribution-better than ever! This is not a corporate environment....to work here, you need to understand that there are decisions that need to made quickly and that may reslut in interactions with personalities that you may not appreciate. At the end of the day though, you must appreciate the people, the products and the outcome. Sure. There are some things that could be better, and I cannot speak for personal experiences of others, but in general, this has been a pretty outstanding experience for me
