Umbra reviews

Senior Management is terrible, they yell at each other during meetings, they discuss inapporiate subjects with non-management staff in the meeting room ie other employees performance, likes and dislikes (management and non-management), who is going to be fired, they refer to warehouse employees as Monkeys. No such thing as JOB SECURITY Over the last three years, they have fired several long term employees - some who had worked for the company since it started. NO room for advancement unless you are in the click. Constent, high turn-over in staff. Looking for individuals, who think outside of the box, what they are really looking for a people who they can put inside the box and control. Don't speak your mind, unless you are looking to be fired.

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.
