Pros

Mission Driven, fast paced, collaborative teams, employees are appreciated, remote working capabilities for most roles (outside the Lab), competitive compensation package that includes equity, start up mentality (everyone eats from the same table), high performing and intelligent workforce, company is agile and able to pivot quickly, opportunities to grow, flexible PTO and great benefits package.

Cons

Stretch goals, often overwhelmed by the work load, small teams that are rapidly growing, many areas of the company are still in a "scrappy" place (including DEI initiatives).

Good people, overstretched people

Pros

Helix has a lot of good energy in its employee base. Everyone is pretty nice and open, and people seem genuinely interested in building a good company. And, the company is pretty open to you taking on responsibilities beyond your mandate, allowing you to learn as you go.

Cons

The biggest con is that Helix is forever and always running on overstretched staff. The depth chart is super shallow, so that experts burn out pretty quickly. It results in perpetual cycle of building MVPs and never moving past that. Everyone has the ability to do better, but they suffer from simply having an unrelenting flow of tasks that dampens creativity and limits the heights to which the company can reach.
