Pros

Urgenci is a great environment to learn a lot at a fast pace while working alongside some really caring, genuine people. In this type of environment you will be thrown in the fire and forced to figure things out with a lot of autonomy. For some people that is the best way to learn, others not so much (so a pro and a con) . Cannot express how awesome the people that do work there are, and how easy it is to connect and bond with the team even in a remote environment. They will take care of you compensation wise and there is lots of room for internal growth.

Cons

Poor change management with the recent acquisition. The lack of leadership leaves some employees confused on their responsibilities, KPIs, etc. Little to no onboarding/training.

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!
