Pros

The people are truly amazing. Everyone has been so welcoming, kind, and helpful in my first few months here. I love the company's mission and appreciate the flexible work environment.

Cons

None so far. It is a fast growing, fast-paced company so be prepared to jump right into things once you start! The good thing is you'll be supported every step of the way.

Great Overall Experience Thus Far

Pros

~6 months in and I love it! I enjoy coming to work every day, working with a team of myriad professionals with varied backgrounds but who are all working together in an effort to help the students, employers, and school partners improve the lives of those they interact with. Best support team experience ever.

Cons

Nothing really notable - other than, like any support job, it can be repetitive, but there's always opportunities to improve yourself or learn more about a different aspect of the platform, so it doesn't last long.

Pros

I'm a new employee. Two weeks into my role and I couldn't be happier about coming on board. Here are a list of what I've picked up thus far: - Very engaged executive team. The founders who are a part of this team are very looped in to multiple weekly meetings. - I'm on a newly developed team in NYC. Our director and leader who hired us all has also been very involved with everything from remote-onboarding to training and development. (more than any manager I've had at any other company in the past) I have a strong feeling I'm going to learn a lot from her. - Extremely diligent and well structured onboarding training and sales enablement manager. - So much Handshake Swag! Which never seems to end. I've had multiple packages that have included team clothing, books, cravebox's. Thanks for making a new guy feel special! - Most importantly, the entire org's response to Covid-19. From the CEO to HR to everyone. Our company quickly implemented a WFH policy and has continuously provided updates around where as a company we stand as well as best resources for all employees. I was a bit nervous starting my first day with this going on, but the Handshake team has reassured me that my new role is safe. Additionally, they made me feel valued and have me very excited about the success I plan on having moving forward.

Cons

No cons at this point.
