      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Helix

      Interview

      Had phone interview, then home codding assignment, then on site interviews. They decided no go. No problem, but they didn't even bother to let me know. Now I glad it didnt work out. Would not want to work for company so disrespectful to people.
