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

Strong goal setting process and fast decision making means teams are able to move quickly. We’re doing more and more to unlock the unique aspects of our 3-sided marketplace, creating unique ways for employers, students, and career centers to work together. The team focuses on deep understanding of our customers and creative ways to engage each audience. The team is warm, smart, driven, mission-focused, and hungry. Such great people!

Cons

High intensity environment is not for everyone. Things move quickly and there’s a lot of cross-functional coordination required to make good decisions. Desire to collaborate and deal with complexity is important to thrive here.
