Avantages

There are many interesting projects, and the other associates are fun to work with. You have a lot of freedom with how you accomplish your goals. The company has overall been fairly focused for the past couple of years which has helped the team make progress on our objectives. It's easy to be energized when you are working with such versatile organisms that could impact this planet for the better.

Inconvénients

Heliae has matured since I have been here, but with everything there is always room for improvement. Heliae needs to work at balancing open communication/inclusiveness with information management. Too far one way or the other can be counter productive to the momentum we are building.

Avantages

- There are a lot of good people to work with - The company does try create a good work environment - It is a good job to start out at and get experience from

Inconvénients

-It is very unclear how the company determines giving raises to employees -Working hard does not mean you will get a good raise or move up in any way, you may just stay at the same position doing the same thing for multiple years. - After receiving experience, you are not paid for the experience you have with the company and if you need to be paid more good luck asking for a raise, many people have left the company as that was their only option to get paid for their experience. - This company has had 4 lay offs. The most recent lay off was nearly 50% percent of the company and can be attributed to their inability to solve a problem. They could of solved it by getting rid of a sales guy who constantly failed to meet his goals, and in turn caused the company to have to lay off nearly half their work force due to the companies inability to make profits. -The company does not hold themselves accountable to their own values.

Réponse de Heliae Development

Heliae has primarily been a research and development company since its inception in 2008. August 2018 will be mark Heliae’s tenth anniversary. There are many reasons for celebration. We have: - Hundreds of successful field trials of our newly commercialized microalgae-based soil amendment product; - A pipeline of additional microalgae-based products in development; - A successful partnership in Japan producing Astaxanthin today. While many worldwide companies have attempted to develop sustainable products from microalgae, they have not been able to survive, thus reducing the dozens of companies formerly in this industry, down to a just a handful, of which Heliae remains prominent. Heliae has indeed experienced many changes over the past decade. These changes have been extremely critical to continue the science of identifying the benefits of microalgae, developing new strains and now actually taking our products to market. As an emerging company Heliae has adapted to maintain its ability to manufacture products and continue research and development. While these changes have had impacts to some of our former associates, we still value and honor the commitments and contributions they have made. And, we are grateful for their participation in shaping Heliae as it is today. Current Associate: Director Human Resources in Gilbert, AZ
