      Pros

      I just started the company a couple of weeks ago, and so far everything has been great from the on-boarding, my training, and my recruiter. Everyone made sure that I had all the materials I needed so I can be successful

      Cons

      I do not have any cons with Helix

      Creating Value is Hard

      Pros

      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

      Cons

      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.

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

      Pros

      Helix is an incredibly exciting place to be. Not only are we blazing the trail of a completely new category, but we are doing so with some of the smartest and most driven teammates one could ask for. I am challenged to learn and teach everyday at Helix. I feel empowered and a part of something which is bigger than all of us...helping people through DNA-powered learning. It's a pretty cool feeling.

      Cons

      We are growing quickly and learning fast! We can't always get it right. People work too hard and fast, but it's because they care.
