What Do You Like About Segue?

Management is approachable, they keep the door open and encourage us to go if we have concerns/questions. Segue promotes training and professional growth, giving you the tools to achieve it. Our team works hard but at the same time they feel like family to me.

How Did Segue Contribute to Your Professional Growth?

In my 3 years working at Segue, I have obtained more than 5 certifications, I have learned to communicate better, and my skills as a Recruiter have improved. In addition, I have been part of other aspects of the company, helping with Marketing, which has allowed me to learn new skills.

In Your Opinion, Why Should Others Apply to Work at Segue?

Segue has been a school for me, a place where I have learned and where I have grown as a professional. Three years ago, they gave me the opportunity to join their team and since then I have always felt I am part of more than just a company. If someone is looking for a place to start their career or to continue growing as a professional, learning new skills, Segue is the perfect place. Segue offers good benefits, a friendly work environment but especially a team that cares about you.

What is Segue for You?

A place where I learn and a place where my skills are taken into account. In all my work experience, Segue has been the place where I have felt most comfortable. Beyond the regular 8 to 5, my coworkers have been with me when I have lost loved ones and when I have become ill. They have also celebrated with me when I have obtained a certification, on my birthday, and when something positive happened in my life.

What is Your Greatest Achievement at Segue?

In addition to my certifications and learning new skills, I think my greatest achievement is when I submit a job offer and it is accepted. Every time that happens, I know someone is joining a company where they will be valued as a professional and respected as a person; that fills me with satisfaction.

Segue Promotes Equal Employment Opportunity. How Has Segue Encouraged Overcoming Any Challenges You Have Faced in Your Career?

As an immigrant when I was looking for jobs, I was afraid of being rejected because of my accent, race and for not having a university degree from this country. At the time of my interview I realized that Segue was a place where everyone was accepted, and that the important thing was to contribute with ideas and quality work.

What Is Your Opinion About Our Culture, Environment, and Work-Life Balance?

They have always encouraged me to work hard but at the same time to take time for myself and my family when I need it. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I love being able to communicate with everyone and that when there is a problem, the team works together to find a solution. Another aspect that I appreciate is that Segue is concerned about the mental health of workers, remembering that there are resources at our disposition in case we need them. Segue offers an excellent benefit package and goes much further than usual by organizing fun activities (happy hours, raffles, virtual events) to keep the team motivated.
