Great coworkers, disastrous upper management - Anonymous employee Essence Employee Review

Dan Dobson-Smith is one of the most arrogant, ridiculous humans I have ever met. As someone who bills himself as a mentor and coach, he is completely oblivious to his own shortcomings and the regard that staff hold him in. Unless you can benefit him or his career, he will condescend and dismiss you. I, luckily, was not subjected to this treatment, but witnessed it on several occasions. Why he keeps getting promoted is a mystery.
