Pros

If you are looking for a place to work where you sit on an egg and wait for it to hatch then Helcim is not the place for you! It is a fast-paced, work-hard, play-hard mentality where the agility of a cat would be helpful in jumping from task to task. The people/culture are amazing. I feel like I am on that show with the purple dinosaur where everyone is happy and supportive. There is even a live garden by the data team where you can water the cactus

Cons

Fast paced is not for everyone. Be prepared to come to work.

Pros

The culture of the company still feels surreal to me every day that I come into work. You have to meet a certain "vibe check" to get to work alongside the amazing people here. So completely different from the corporate banking world I have been in my entire adult life prior to this. The transparency during the hiring process about the reality of working for a startup company was very much appreciated as well. They didn't sugar coat anything - and want you to be able to succeed, if you're up for the challenge!

Cons

What I wish I knew before I started, is that the benefit package isn't the best. While I am very grateful that it begins immediately upon starting employment - the annual maximum for prescriptions isn't very high. I have a type 1 diabetic son, so we will max out his annual allotment after a few months.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting this important concern. We truly appreciate the feedback. We’re glad to hear that the immediate access to benefits has been valuable, but we understand that coverage limits, especially for ongoing or high-cost needs can be challenging. Supporting the health and well-being of employees and their dependents is something we take seriously. While our current plan has set maximums, there are often additional options available. We encourage you to connect directly with our P&C team, who can help explore solutions tailored to your situation. This may include coordinating with a spouse’s plan, looking into manufacturer assistance programs, or accessing supplemental or provincial drug programs available in Alberta. We are always committed to working with our team to find the best possible support and encourage anyone with concerns to reach out so we can help navigate these options together.
