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.
