Pros

Most of the employees below the senior management level were a pleasure to work with. The culture was limited but the good people made up for that. Some of the people there were incredibly supportive even though they seemed extremely unhappy.

Cons

Senior management at Helium are very unprofessional. The CEO is going to slip one of these days and find himself in a sticky situation for his lack of ethics and inappropriate comments. Senior management back-stab each other and share this with their subordinates. They also take their stress out on their subordinates. Favoritism is "Job One" on the part of the senior management there but hard work and diligence is not respected or acknowledged. From what I heard, in the early days there was a fun culture, but in my time there the culture or the lack thereof, was bizarre to me.

Pros

Good site to begin a freelance writer portfolio. Opportunities to write about many topics and learn about content writing, and plenty of community support and encouragement. Also Opportunities to gain editorial experience, such as fact-checking.

Cons

Upfront pay is very low, usually about $1.00 per article. Pay for articles is mostly revenue share. Fact-checking and other editorial positions are often on a volunteer basis.
