Pros

I really wanted to start a career in recruiting but had zero experience. The CEO hired me and gave me an opportunity to get my foot in the door. She spent time training me on organizational structures, different SWE roles, how to screen candidates. When I got pregnant she let me work flexible hours, encouraged me to go out for walks and after my baby came let me work whatever hours I needed too. She pays extremely well and offers generous bonuses for hires/offers out. She is family oriented and always happy to give someone who may need work a try. She gave my brother in law an opportunity to get his foot in the door with little experience as well. I admire the CEO a lot, she has worked really hard to get where she is, I am constantly trying to learn from her.

Cons

None, I plan on staying here as long as I can.

Pros

I was at UrbanEngineer for 3 years and found it a really great place to start my career in recruiting. Got my foot in the door with various industries and companies ranging from early startups to big corporations. Bridget, the founder, is one of the best at what she does and was a great mentor these past years. She gives lots of opportunities for new challenges/different projects and is always encouraging more learning and growth. She creates great working relationships with her clients and we were often referred by people we worked with. Great place to start in a career in recruiting.

Cons

We started at 7:30am everyday or earlier.

Pros

Stayed here for 4 years, I learned so much, had a great working relationship with the owner. We were friends and worked like a machine. I was paid well, given flexibility and encouraged to grow. I cherished my time working at UE and recommend any person who wants to get their foot in the door in recruiting to consider joining the company. She has a great reputation with companies around the US and a lot of her network is what keeps her and the team busy. Its a small intimate team but I had the opportunity to with small startups to large tech companies, various roles and industries. Come in ready to learn from one of the best recruiters in the industry and grow your career.

Cons

Working from home is not great on physical health, make sure to go for walks.
