Frustrating and disappointing. - Anonymous employee UrbanDaddy Employee Review

This place is hemorrhaging time, energy and resources and someone desperately needs to cauterize the wound. Sorely lacking in any real senior management (probably by design) who could help get control of the situation, the place is largely staffed with junior yes-men types and/or people whose qualifications don't match their titles who are willing to go along with the program for fear that they likely couldn't find equivalent professional status elsewhere. Anyone who does have real expertise typically gets their wings clipped quickly by the head of the company who has adopted a try-to-do-everything-myself approach to running the business -which whether they realize it or not, hugely undermines senior staffers' attempts to do their jobs and help the business. You might work hard here -but you won't work smart. There is a difference. This place needs real creative and product leadership (among many other things) pronto. Some of the dreck that gets produced after many missed deadlines is mind-boggling. Lastly... Let's be honest. The great majority of uber-positive reviews here are planted. Which is sad, b/c that means rather than take the negative comments as an opportunity for self reflection and to identify areas for improvement, the company is having employees write false and overly-positive reviews in an attempt to balance things out. It's a bit embarrassing, really. And an insult to the intelligence of Glassdoor readers as well. Also, for a "luxury" media company, the office is pretty gross/sad. Do something about it. Wouldn't take much. Some facilities are disgusting -if it's a problem with the building, then someone in senior mgmt needs to lean on the building to get it together. This is an office, not the Delta Tau Chi fraternity house.
