Pros

My personal team was fantastic to work with.

Cons

Since the two years I've been there, the company's gone through 3 layoff sessions. The leadership is extremely weak and have no vision for the company. The CEO as well as head of design is especially lazy and give no effort to keeping Umbra innovative. The industrial design is often from a bygone era. Umbra constantly claims its a global company but its not really. It doesn't have the success of a large institution but refuses to operate with the efficiency and flexibility of a smaller company.
