They deceive employees. - Engineer Handshake Employee Review

While it was obvious that they had revenue shortage, they still over-hired to market their growth & only to fire people. They abruptly ended employment of many folks without a prior notice or hints or warnings. The worst part being, every employee was terminated with a poor performance reason with worst Severance before they can even vest their stocks. This company doesn't even have a chance to go public and even if does, those stocks won't be worth anything, because company is going south. Forget money, forget terminations. It’s shameful that the managers terminated their direct reports with a poor performance, funny part, they know to themselves that they’ve never had issues with their performance, they appreciated them in the past infront of everyone. They never properly gave them a feedback about their so called worst performance. Disappointing to have such managers, pretty sure these managers will lead their rest of career holding this guilt. A lifetime lesson to not join a company like Handshake in the future.
