Pros

Great team of people but a high rotation of employees - I seen 7 people leaving in a space of 6 months! (Software engineers, technicians and field operators)

Cons

1. Xihelm relies entirely from funding from private investors and some government grants for Start-up companies. Every project is on prototype stage and, sadly, most project will not go ahead. 2. Unexperienced Managers with little work experience (micro-management); 3. Majority of employees (if not all) unhappy about management; 4. Marketing team makes the company look like is the most exciting company out there! Don't be fooled by the huge salary range they promote on job ads!

Hi, it’s James here. Thank you for leaving your feedback with us. We are a growing startup and we are always looking for ways to improve ourselves. I know that whilst we do try hard, we do not always get it right and I am sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience while working with us. We had to make a lot of difficult decisions over the last year and I know that the recentralisation of the team was a disappointment for those who enjoyed the flexibility and autonomy of working from home. However, this was the best decision for the business and has improved our operations significantly. That being said, I do understand that this would not have been a popular decision, and would be appreciative of any further feedback you have on this. If you are open to talking, please reach out to me via email so that I can learn more about your experience. If you would prefer to speak to another member of the team or an outside advisor, please do contact hr@xihelm.com. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review, and whilst I am disappointed that you did not enjoy your time with us, I wish you all the best for the future.

Pros

Nothing is done in this regard except for the provision of free food on certain days

Cons

It is a highly toxic & negative work environment where employees do not feel valued. The CEO has poor people management skills and is uninterested in working on improving this: he hires immigrants and exposes them to verbal abuse.
