Thanks for the feedback! We agree that we can expand our safety programs and initiatives beyond those that are already in place (documented on our internal wiki). To address this, we are currently hiring for a Safety Manger to lead this initiative, as well as a Learning & Development Manger to put the right safety trainings in place in addition to the trainings we currently offer. We recognize that with our rapid team growth over the last year and a half, we need to continue scaling our organizational infrastructure to match our size. Although in the last year we have introduced management training, formal performance reviews, and are now building a leveling structure, we still are working to develop programs helpful to all employees, regardless of their role or longevity on our team. If there are additional programs you’d like to see us prioritize, please share them with me directly, with our People Business Partner team, your manager, or in our anonymous engagement survey. We appreciate the insight into your experience at Helion.

Pros

Really smart people, fun to work and collaborate with other teams which happens a lot because everyone is building rigorously. The benefits are top tier, and the company has seen explosive growth. Exec team is very approachable and in the day to day, a lot of face time with them.

Cons

Can be noisy with all the growth and production going on right next to admin employees, but it's better than not having a thriving company.

Pros

The mission of the company is motivating, and the culture is diverse and inclusive. It is for the most part a fun environment.

Cons

There are no perks to being a salaried supervisor at Helion. No bonus, no shift differential for night shift. Health benefits are mediocre at best. Being free to the employee doesn't equate to good insurance.
