Helix reviews

Helix is truly a great place to work. Everyone here believes that there is something uniquely special about what we are building. A few of the many reasons to work here include: - Doing something that matters. - Work with people who are passionate and willing to share their expertise. - No shortage of tough, challenging problems to work on. - The ability to take ownership of projects you care about. - Great colleagues who genuinely care about each other and enjoy spending time together. - Leadership truly values every employee and they regularly put their money where their mouth is to prove it. - Transparency is not just a value, it's built into the company and the way we operate. - Building the future! At some point, all people will get sequenced. If it's not Helix (although we're pretty sure it will be us), it will be someone else and it's exciting to be part of the team designing that future.

Helix is truly a unique company. It's a startup, with the culture and excitement to match, but has many resources of a big company because it is backed by Illumina (the leader in DNA sequencing) and investors with deep pockets. Helix is simultaneously a tech company, a genetics company, and a consumer company. The mission is ambitious and world-changing - you will know you are making a difference. - Team is passionate and mission-driven. The mission and values are real. - Incredibly smart colleagues. You will be surrounded by some of the best in a diverse range of fields. Engineering, design, genetics, bioinformatics, marketing, business development, finance...the list goes on! - Startup culture: free lunch, lots of snacks, unlimited vacation (and most people take time off), small teams, everyone wearing lots of different hats, and lots of passion and excitement - Best of a big company: backing of Illumina, resources to spend when it's on the critical path, 4% 401k matching, great health benefits - Company takes care of the team. For instance, when moving offices from SF to San Carlos, company set up a shuttle to help the commute for SF employees, which is very unusual for a startup - Lots of responsibility. Everyone is given as much as they can handle, and encouraged to take ownership and grow their skills - Culture is collaborative and transparent. Team members genuinely like each other and very common to hang out outside of the office
