Pluspunten

The science and the mission is real, people will have healthier outcomes. Coworkers are great: humble, positive, smart, hard working (shout out to the SanDiego office) Total comp including all the benefits is good for a startup Ok work/life balance (better than most startups) Still learning lots of neat things

Minpunten

There is a lot of work: as a mature startup there's the older stuff that got us here and the new urgent stuff that makes the future look bright. Hopefully the hardest part (pivot away from an untenable business model and reducing spending) is behind us.

Thank you for your feedback! You're right, there is a lot of work and we are focused on the great opportunities we have. It's an exciting time to make an even bigger impact at Helix! We know that our teams are our asset and the more that we can all talk about opportunities, challenges, information, etc., the better we will be together. If you want to chat further, feel free to reach out to me or any of the leadership team - they're always open to having a conversation. - Romina

Pluspunten

The industry the company is in has potential.

Minpunten

After a decade, many basic processes are still not standardized. Simple tasks that should be easy elsewhere take unnecessary effort here. Mid-level managers form cliques, handling conflicts by forcing the more reasonable side to back down. Double standards are everywhere. People who don’t do the work tend to oppress those who do. Managers have a shallow understanding of both the work and people, resorting to bullying those who are kind while avoiding confrontations with the strong or rude. There's a constant manpower shortage, and higher-level issues are often dumped on lower-level employees, but salaries and promotions don’t reflect this. Meetings are mostly for show—employees are only allowed to ask trivial questions or praise each other. If you bring up real issues, they’ll either ask you to fix them yourself or tell you to stay quiet. Layoffs have been frequent over the past year, mostly targeting decent employees who won’t cause trouble or those who dare to speak up. The company is rigidly hierarchical, both in title and race. Middle managers give speeches as if they’re important figures, which is laughable. The quality of employees has dropped, and management is full of holes. Issues in old negative Glassdoor reviews remain unresolved to this day. The tolerance for toxic employees and the chaotic management have left good employees discouraged—they either find excuses to leave or simply cut down their productivity. As one one-star review said, this company needs a complete overhaul, not just minor tweaks.
