Pros
I’ve only been at Handshake for a few months and was hesitant to make the jump given the negative reviews. But what I’ve found is far from what’s depicted on Glassdoor recently. Handshake is filled with amazing people, rewarding work, and tons of opportunities to have an impact. No question that the last year has been challenging for the business—but there is momentum building in the market, the leadership team is taking engagement really seriously, and if you’re willing to put in the work, Handshake is a really rewarding place to be.
Cons
This is a company that moves fast and the expectations are high. As a result working here isn’t a 9-5 — you have to be willing to put in extra hours at times, and you should be prepared to deliver high quality work quickly.
