Pros

My experience with Umbra has been excellent so far. I work with a great team and feel challenged and interested in my work. There are opportunities for growth if you take initiative and show interest. The people are great and the cafeteria serves delicious food!

Cons

The fast-paced dynamic environment may not be a good fit for everyone.

Pros

Learn various technologies and have in-house cafeteria. Employees are friendly and easy to communicate.

Cons

Salary is too low and benefits are awful. Comparing to large company, you will need to pay for the basic plan and its coverage is bad. This IT jobs in this company is only good for IT people with minimum experience or newly college graduates. If you had Computer Science degree from university, the roles are not suitable/worthy to you and it is simply wasting your talent and time. The company constantly have people leaving and joining. I would advise you to take a closer look at the company before considering their offer.

Pros

Global / Innovation / CEO / People / Environment Global Brand where sell home product in over 130 countries in the world. Great opportunity designing products in variety home categories (More than 10 categories) and for various customers in other countries and stores. People are casual and very nice. One of the best part is people who you will work with. Our global team in other countries, they are always willing to share with design team. Great to learn what product works and needs in other market. CEO always take and support design studio as a top priority. Design studio is located in middle of building where has open window on top. Lots of natural light in studio during a daytime. Working in a unique building who designed by one of famous architect designer. (Head office / Concept Store) The best part of Umbra – Designing products that will be found in other countries when I am travelling. Etc – Yumbra Café in Building, Work in downtown concept store once a week, Free Gym, Workshop, Free Coffee/Tea, Shuttle Van office to downtown, Free parking, Close to Highway, Drive thru Starbucks near by…

Cons

Location / Workload Head Office located in Scarborough, easy to commute who drives. But challenge to commute who is taking public transit. Not much great restaurant for lunch around office if you want have lunch outside office. Amount of Workload is not consistent, you need able to manage your tasks yourself.
