      Pros

      Been at Handshake for a little over a year. Amazing team here at the executive and team level. Truly feel supported and love the work we do. We have an awesome mission and our customers are always willing to speak on our behalf and share their success stories. We move fast and there's a ton of trust, so there's little to no micromanagement. You are the owner of your projects - if you need help, ask for it and you'll get it but otherwise, you own your domain. If you're looking for a role where you'll make an impact and be seen, this is the place to do it.

      Cons

      No real cons, excited to go back to the office and meet some folks in person.

      Pros

      So far I am beyond impressed with Handshake. The people are incredibly kind, smart and willing to help. There is a genuine shared belief in being good to each other, pairing, and sharing knowledge. This is a breath of fresh air. The communication at every level is very impressive. I feel like I know the why and the reasoning for what is going on, the work that I am doing, how to do the work, etc. Everything is so well documented, I feel pretty comfortable knowing that if I need something, the information is easily attainable. I look forward to the future here.

      Cons

      None so far, everything has been great!

      Pros

      CEO is very energetic, appreciative of his team, and excited about what they're doing. He likes to remain engaged in all aspects of the company, and really puts everything into it. Exec team was great and i enjoyed working with them all.

      Cons

      no cons other than i had to move so i didn't get to work there as long as i would've wanted to.
