Pros

Handshake is growing FAST. We move quickly and make impactful change every day. The goals are high which means we have to work really hard to reach or exceed them. But, in my opinion, that's what makes it fun. If you are not afraid of hard work and want to make a meaningful impact, Handshake is a great place to work. The leadership team in the sales dept. expect a lot and hold individual contributors accountable to our goals. Some people don't like this and complain about it but I can't imagine how they expect to improve without being challenged. Tons of perks. Airpods, events, spiffs, wine nights etc.

Cons

You may work long hours and feel the pressure. not necessarily a bad thing. We pivot quickly which bothers some. Doesn't bother me.

Pros

It's flexible and sometimes the money is OK. I got paid most of what they owed me.

Cons

Generally disorganized. The task I was on was one of the more highly paid ones but it was almost impossible to actually do in the allotted time. You aren't supposed to use AI but I think people must. The tasks run far over the time they are supposed to take. The human review system also seemed almost arbitrary. Reviewers did not have the subject matter expertise they claimed to. You will make less than the advertised hourly rate because the tasks routinely take longer than they say they will. If they have averages that are lower, those people are either not submitting accurate hours (there is incentive not to) or are using AI to train AI, which is a bigger problem (but not yours).
