Pros

talented, fun colleagues. Office amenities are decent

Cons

Unrealistic Travel Requirements: The company mandates an unrealistic amount of travel to client sites, which severely impacts work-life balance and personal well-being. Inconsistent Leadership: Leadership frequently changes goals and expectations. This leads to confusion and frustration among employees. Culture of Fear: There is a pervasive fear of speaking up about concerns or issues within the company, stifling open communication and innovation. Not a need-to-have product : consistently churning customers due to high $$ increases yoy and the product not being essential to their business. CEO's Focus on Image Over Substance: Rather than addressing fundamental issues, the CEO has prioritized soliciting positive reviews from long-standing employees, neglecting to improve Handshake as a workplace.

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).
