Business Outlook
Pros
Excellent place to be if you're good at sucking up. Or if you know how to play politics. Or if your aunt, uncle, or future father in-law is amongst the leadership team.
Cons
Design director is a good designer with terrible interpersonal and management skills. Just terrible. Sorry MC. CEO is too far down his path to truly be open to change. He's lost his spark. And the team around him knows it but just won't say it. Sorry LM. I've been at umbra for a while now, but it's simply not a fun place to be. It keeps some people. But mostly those who just don't know any better. Or designers who can't get jobs elsewhere. Umbra does a good job at looking good on paper. But like its products, it's falling apart from the inside.
