      Operations Interview

      7 Nov 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Carlos, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Helix (San Carlos, CA) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      Several Phone Screens In Person All day Session All Interviewers, aside from 2 people & HR, utilized the interview to play politics and block applicants from proceeding as job security seems to be a concern. The job description keeps changing & politics run heavy, like an old school big company, but its a small one. This should scare the hell out of anyone applying as it implies poor leadership & subpar company culture. Furthermore, the company is trying to go live without a Head of Ops already on board. That should scare the hell out of investors. Run away!
