Pros

Hiring process is transparent. Very welcoming and understanding when joining. Even tough there is a lot of information given on the first day it is not expected to be told only once. When finally joining the team got very warm reception and calm onboarding into projects.

Cons

Hiring process is a bit long, Too much information to remember on the first day

Pros

Great team culture with a strong sense of ownership. Everyone in the team has a real voice and meaningful impact on decisions and results. Supportive colleagues, professional environment, and interesting projects. I cannot speak for the whole company, but my personal experience with my team has been very positive.

Cons

The hiring process was quite long and sometimes confusing. I was considered for multiple teams and projects, and some projects did not eventually start. At one point, I was unsure whether the process would lead anywhere because there were many transitions between different opportunities.

Pros

Usually projects are long term and stable. As Helmes targets public sector / governmental projects. Helmes has a roadmap for self-growth and it is possible to grow professionally. Also, in cases where the client of some project has to cut its development budget then Helmes tries to allocate developers to other existing projects.

Cons

Teams are like micro-companies within one building. Teams do not interact with each other as Helmes as a company encourages more team events than company level activities. There are no company summer days.
