      Pros

      Good benefits, smart energetic teammates that take ownership of their work (and mistakes) , 'feel good' mission, work flies by every day in a good way.

      Cons

      Sometimes there are hectic days/weeks, but the company does a good job at responding to those and giving extra incentives as a reward and rethinking how to prepare for busy times before they happen again.

      Pros

      - inspiring product; we get to change people's lives for the better - thoughtful leadership; careful not to micromanage or bog-down their directs with meaningless metrics - high-caliber, high-performing remote engineering teams who are very focused on quality throughout the SDLC - very competitive compensation + opportunity for growth

      Cons

      - SET is still a relatively new discipline here at Handshake, so there are still details being ironed out.
