Move On - Research Assistant Heliae Development Employee Review

Pros

They encourage cross-training, most shifts are M-F (8-5). They offer a decent benefit package BUT they tie 401k matching to unattainable company performance. They used to have a good atmosphere where the company held several events for employees but that's gone.

Cons

The company is not stable. In the time I was there, it grew from 100 employees to almost 200, and then down to approximately 50 through 6 lay-offs, 4 within a year. Salary isn't merit based though they have reviews 2x per year, and reviews are used to determine the next round of lay-offs. Raises are very rare, and only certain people get bonuses. Some employees have unjustifiably high salaries (recent grads, close relations to upper-management). Heliae is too small to be stable or honest, and they don't adhere to their core values. Problematic employees are mostly ignored.

Pros

- Heliae is a great place for professional development. If you need to gain experience in your field but hard to break through "minimum job requirements", Heliae has been willing to take that chance. - PhycoTerra branded products. These are a great solution to help the soil and impacts from traditional agricultural practices. - The people. Heliae has some of the most talented individuals I have ever worked with. - Great benefits - from insurance to bonuses. Bonuses are provided to all levels of the organization (salaried or hourly).

Cons

- Not so much a con regarding Heliae but anyone who works there needs to understand it is small company. You have to be willing to wear many hats. You have to accept that you will not have the luxuries of a larger company.
