Pros

- Great benefits including unlimited paid vacation: And they really mean it. In fact the company is trying to find new ways to get employees to actually take more vacation. - Superior, cutting-edge products: Clients are always blown away when they see Umbel's platform and tools. In this digital markerplace where data is becoming the most valuable asset for companies, Umbel's superior products help win market share - Young and driven colleagues and a social work environment: Of the smartest people I've ever worked with and everyone's super friendly, social and willing to help. I think its what I love most about working here. And the company is very careful about only hiring people that fit the company work culture. - Lack of office politics and micro-management: You get a lot of freedom here to do your job, make mistakes, learn from them and own your projects without too much micro-management from superiors. It's a very flat, non-hierarchical reporting structure where everyone is willing to roll up their sleeves and get the job done. Downtown location w/ Free Parking - Downtown Austin is an expensive and coveted location and getting free parking really is a big deal here. Free snacks and drinks - Tons of healthy snacks, drinks, fruits etc. And an in-house snack force that takes suggestions very seriously :-) Tons of company events and outings.

Cons

Small Space: We've grown so fast and doubled our staff so we've outgrown our small office. The good news is we're supposed to be moving into an awesome, large new office in a month!

Pros

The workspace is inspiring (Seaholm Power Plant on Lake Austin), the benefits are fantastic (Open PTO, 4 Month Maternity Leave Policy, 2 Month Paternity Leave Policy, Full Healthcare Coverage, Competitive Pay), the market is fun (yay sports!), and the team is amazing (hard-working, fun, intelligent, and respectful).

Cons

Things change frequently around here, which can be stressful (at least for some people).

Thank you for your thoughts. We are working hard to evolve the company and I always welcome clear and direct input. I value feedback, but believe it's best delivered directly, therefore addressing your input point by point in a public forum is not ideal. There are some great points in your review and there are also come misperceptions that I would welcome the opportunity to correct. It's clear you care about Umbel and want the company to succeed. Feel free to call or email me anytime and we can discuss your comments live. Thank you, Lisa Pearson, CEO
