Pros

- The impact we're making on students and our university and employer partners is truly palpable each day. The realization of our mission feels truly tangible, which is incredibly rewarding. - We're still building. If you want to be in an entrepreneurial environment, empowered to be an owner, this is a great place to be. - For those who do a great job, Handshake rewards you by promoting internally. I've gotten so many great (and serendipitous) opportunities here to expand my skill set and breadth of experience. - We've built a great culture of camaraderie, collaboration, while putting a high premium on excellence

Cons

- We're in a phase of growth right now where we're figuring out our second act. That can be really exciting, but there is also some uncertainty sometimes. If you're able to embrace that and rise to the challenge, this is the right place for you, but I also recognize it might not be the case for others. - We're relatively early in our journey of being an international company, so that's still a muscle we have to develop in terms of how to operate optimally. We're figuring it out though and the progress on this has been great to see.

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).
