Pros

It was a great place to gain experience and work on a variety of projects. We had a cool office and most people working there were nice and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Like a lot of small businesses, there were financial struggles at different times with seemingly a feast or famine dynamic. There wasn't a clear hierarchy, which led to decision making issues. Also, without a real HR department, it was clearly a place only truly comfortable for white men.

Pros

I was with this Helpful Human for nearly 5 years. After a successful internship with HH, I was hired as a full-time engineer right out of college. Right off the bat, I felt like a valued team member. Mark (CEO) and Nick (Lead Engineer) took the time to invest in me, my talents, and my passions. I got the support I needed as I was just starting out in my career. Over time, I was placed on very interesting projects which broadened my perspective on software engineering and consulting as a whole. Towards the end of my time at HH, we were beginning to create our own offering on the Shopify App Store, the Experiences App. This taught me so much about how to craft software to create excellent experiences for our customers. I can’t thank the team at Helpful Human enough for all of the experiences, memories, and camaraderie that we shared. Truly an exceptional bunch of humans!

Cons

Due to the size of the company, we struggled to dedicate full-time resources to the products were were building. We were often consumed by our client engagements so it prevented us from being able to make strides towards completion of our product offerings.
