Pros

Overall, Helix cares about individual development (through workshops, employee and manager one on ones, and team feedback), creating a positive working environment for all employees, and has been responsive to employee feedback. It's hard sometimes to appreciate how different this company is from others after being here for a while- but Helix has remained the most responsive, forward-thinking, and innovative company I've been a part of in my professional career. More than just the great benefits, there is always the opportunity to learn, either in your role with your manager or team members, or by reaching out to other departments. Employees all seem passionate about our mission, excited to share what they're working on, and invested in the growth of Helix.

Cons

It can be hard to communicate with other offices at times, but dedication from managers and team members to hold appointments and meetings can mitigate this.

Pros

Amazing teammates at all levels - from individual contributors to the CEO. Amazing problem space that is on the path to change humanity. Well funded, great salary and great perks. Leadership that gets you excited and motivated to change the world.

Cons

There are a lot of meetings and discussion where sometimes we need a little less conversation and a little more action.
