Pros

Small company with strong flexibility and a dedication to employee culture and freedom. A recognition of hard work has led to incredible growth for this company and retention of great employees. They will always support your personal/family decisions and be there for you in the hardest times. There is constant encouragement of employees to take care of personal needs without requirement for expectations. The culture is designed to make all feel comfortable with an open forum office area. Individuals are encouraged to be themselves and allow their personalities to show. As in every place to work, there will inevitably conflict that arises, and when such does happen steps have been put into place to ensure an ongoing professional relationship can be preserved. There is a very comparable benefits package that you will most likely not find at many other companies. Finally, becoming an employee here is challenging but very rewarding. If you are fortunate enough to be offered a job, and you accept, you are accepting a role where your voice will be heard, where your expertise will be appreciated, and where you will be supported and encouraged by the entire team. And the kitchen is literally always stocked with snacks.

Cons

Changes can be made quickly, and commitment to improvement eliminates complacency however reduces appreciation in past accomplishments. There can be an expectation of self motivation and initiative which is freedom to some but a deficiency for others.

Pros

Great place to work and grow your career. Being an account manager was new to me and they placed a ton of trust in me to manage my clients and take my advice on clients. I have a lot of responsibility and trust in my role. Has given me plenty of opportunities to own my career and talk about my career at various levels. Work-life balance is important at this company and highly encouraged!

Cons

Truly nothing that I can think of.

Pros

Cool office. They let you work from home several days a week and remote work is available for employees out of state. Office holiday parties, catering, and other perks. A lot of really lovely, hardworking, and kind people work here. Fun team environment. Work life balance is pretty good for an agency.

Cons

Huge downturn recently because upper management is negotiating a buy-out. They fired a bunch of people who had worked there forever along with 10% of each department and cut pay across the board. Upper management and AES are treated was better than every other department which is pretty common for agencies, but something to be aware of. One of the upper leadership guys is super creepy and harassed women, to my knowledge he hasn’t been fired.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on your experience working at Helium SEO. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed aspects like our office culture, work-from-home policy, and hardworking team members. We always aim to provide a positive environment. Regarding the downturn and job cuts you described, we want to reassure current and potential employees that we have no plans for a buy-out or similar major restructuring. While we have made some difficult staffing adjustments to account for business fluctuations in the past, as many companies do, we are stable and focused on the future at this time. At no point in recent years did we cut compensation across the board. After COVID-19, we worked hard to ensure our compensation for every employee was in line with the standard rates of our industry; this included raises being implemented. We are not aware of any harassment claims from leadership. We want to encourage anyone with specific concerns about their experience working here to reach out to HR so we can better understand this potential claim and address challenges. This is not something we take lightly. Any inappropriate behavior, especially harassment, is taken very seriously here and will result in termination if deemed true. We thoroughly investigate all claims, take appropriate action, and strive to uphold high standards from all employees. We encourage anyone with specific concerns about their experience working here to reach out to HR or leadership so we can better understand and address challenges that may come up. We aim for this to remain an enjoyable, ethical workplace for all.
