Pros

After coming from a company where I was micromanaged to the Nth degree, it's nice to work for a company that treats its employees like adults and trusts them to get their work done. Great team to work for too. The on site recruiting options are also great for anyone who wants to be a contract corporate recruiter but doesn't want to be a contractor.

Cons

The non-micromanaging is great but if you're not good without direction or need to be told what to do next, might not be the right opportunity. Definitely need to be self motivated and ask for what you need. (to me these are pros but I know that some people don't do well in that environment)

Thank you for your time and perspective. We look for and hire motivated people who like to figure out how to get things done and provide value, while having fun. This allows us to step back and let things happen. That being said, we are very supportive and enjoy providing guidance and collaboration as needed.

Pros

Urgenci is located in the heart of downtown Seattle in the Century Square tower across from Westlake center. The location is fantastic where you can walk a few blocks away to meet with clients in the downtown area. There are a plethora of restaurants in the area that serve cuisines from all over the world. Bussing to and from work is pretty fast and convenient and an Orca card is provided so commuting is no cost to employees. The employees at Urgenci are wonderful. I can genuinely say that I could trust everyone there in that they would always be professional and would never steel leads or take over a candidate you are actively working with. I have been in recruiting environments before where this was not the case. The Managing Director did an excellent job of screening candidates for a good cultural fit and only hired folks that had little to no drama to bring to the workplace.

Cons

The downside of working at Urgenci is that it is a start-up environment. That being said the direction of the company can change quickly and the focus of what you will be working on will rotate frequently. Some folks do well working under these circumstances and others do not. Overall though working there is a positive experience.

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, always a challenge to bring consistency at a start-up and we understand change is disruptive but as we grow and mature we will keep the focus!
