Pros
UrbanDaddy is a company filled with creative, intelligent, and interesting people. Great office location in the Flatiron district with access to lots of restaurants and bars for happy hour. The company has a generous holiday package. HR has grown a lot and the new team is adding things like Pizza Fridays, which everyone is loving, as well as clearer policies in the handbook. Fun company parties, discounts on Perks, casual dress code are all pluses.
Cons
- The company has been around for 10 years but still functions as if it has been open for three. Lack of process in many departments, though this is slowly improving in some. - I can't attest to the company's outlook over the next 6 months because there is no transparency. If an employee is not a part of finance or one of the sales functions, there is no information shared on the financial outlook/status for the organization. - There is a lot of separation between the three floors in the office; I've heard people say that they don't know anyone in the other offices. There needs to be some way to get everyone to mix more, people aren't participating in the organized monthly happy hours. - There are no middle managers. Too many people report to the CEO who has his finger in too many pies. Those who are managers don't necessarily have proper training to lead teams. Not a lot of growth opportunities in several departments due to flat nature of the company
