HelpSystems Reviews

Pros

Treat their employees well in regards to benefits and activities, etc Large customer base Hard Working People/Teams Most parts of the portfolio doing well (IBMi mainly)

Cons

No Security knowledge or awareness in the CTS part of the business If you know what the difference between a vulnerability and an exploit is then you know more than the leadership of the CyberSecurity division Being run like a business that sells security software Taking human interaction and care out of the process Most of the mind share is gone and innovation is lacking Management team unaware of security industry and no knowledge of technology to help lead team in correct direction. Treat employees as a number, in the end all we are. If you are beginning or want to begin in cybersecurity maybe a decent place to start and everyone can learn together. HQ in Minnesota, so if you are from elsewhere you don't fit in the clique from there.

Pros

Great place to kickstart a sales career. Unlimited exposure to Sr. management and leaders within the org. HelpSystems is the gem of Minneapolis. Just because your mom has never heard of the company doesn't mean you can't make a lot of money ;)

Cons

Growing pains are inevitable

Pros

Management and C-level trust their employees and empower them to do their jobs; mistakes aren't frowned upon, but are used as learning experiences They are very transparent with employees and communicate company news and financials on a monthly basis at all-hands meetings Offer a flexible work environment that helps with work-life balance Reward and recognize success As the company grows, a lot of career opportunities arise Management listens to what employees want and makes changes accordingly

Cons

We're located in the suburbs - which is only a con for some people!

Pros

I can honestly say that working at HelpSystems has positively altered my career trajectory. When I started at HelpSystems, I was looking for a place to grow, learn, be challenged and rewarded. HelpSystems has and continues to deliver on all of those items. HelpSystems is a great place for individuals who are willing to roll up their sleeves and add value where one can. You will be pushed, supported, and challenged to reinvent the way you think about work and what you can contribute. As quickly as HelpSystems continues to grow, it also continues to evolve, which brings great opportunity for those that are looking for it. I highly recommend taking a look at what HelpSystems has to offer. We move fast, we have resources, and most importantly, a huge pool of talented employees to work with and learn from.

Cons

Many people talk about fast growth being challenging and it is. Things constantly change, but the executive teams does a great job providing a level or transparency that many orgs. shy away from. You know when things are going well and when they are not, and while that can be stressful at times, it's a refreshing approach to the workplace.
