Make an Impact at Origence
Origence is a company where everyone – from the CEO and president to entry-level roles – can make a big impact and a name for themselves. “We’re not a mom and pop,” says JB Banayad, “it’s more of an extended family where everyone everyone can contribute and make an impact.”
With a mix of in-office, fully remote, and hybrid employees, Origence emphasizes collaboration in all its roles. Ultimately, employees can have flexibility in how and where they get their work done.
Teambuilding Events All Year
It’s not all business, either – May 4th is “May the Force Be With You” day, a nod to staff who love Star Wars. Costume contests are a regular part of working at Origence, and holiday parties are a staple. “We want to make sure people have a space to step away from their day-to-day just to give their mind a refresh.”
Bring Your Kids to Work Day is also an important event at Origence. With vendors in all three locations and activities for kids to learn how to code (from the age of 5 up!), Origence aims for these occasions to be a mix of fun and learning.
A Commitment to Values: Recognition, Commitment, and Achievement
You’ll learn about Origence values early in your job, directly from the president and CEO (that’s how tight-knit the company is). The four values Origence promotes are to Value team members, Commit to growth, Imagine, innovate, and inspire, and Achieve exceptional results.
Origence makes these values active through an award system for employees who exemplify these values. Each year, staff can nominate colleagues or teams for embodying a particular value, and the winners have their stories told across the company. In itself, this exercise encourages value #1: Recognition.
Diversity as a Key Driver of Success
With nearly 650 employees, Origence celebrates diversity and inclusion as a key to their success. The company has Employee Resource Groups for employees of several demographics, and Latin, Black, Asian, Women, and LGBTQ+ employees are all represented by ERGs.
These groups help everyone feel a sense of belonging, and, as JB notes, “you don't have to be part of those groups to be an ally of that group.”
Engaged Leadership All The Way Up
Leaders are never far from the people they lead, from Day 1 when presidents and CEOs meet new hires to day-to-day planning. There’s a “tight-knit executive team” at Origence, according to JB. Not only with each other but with their respective teams.
Transparency and approachableness are the secret sauce. Everyone is encouraged to give their leaders feedback, leading to better results and more engaged teams, from entry-level roles to the C-suite.
Why Work for Origence?
Don’t take our word for Origence being a great place to work – referrals from current employees are Origence’s top source of new hires. “We wouldn't have this number of referrals unless everyone felt taken care of,” says JB.
How does Origence do that? It invests in the career development of its staff, helps them grow their careers, and values contributions big and small. In JB’s words, “This is a midsize company that feels much larger or smaller depending on how you look at it – you get the best of both worlds.”
Beyond a competitive salary, Origence offers generous health and wellness benefits and a 401(k) that matches dollar for dollar up to 8%.
