      Pros

      Handshake is absolutely a thrilling company to work for! We are doing so much in delivering on our mission to help early talent find careers with no luck or experience required. Everyone is bought in and ready to lend a helping hand if you need it and very excited to partner together.

      Cons

      We are moving so quickly but not rushing which is good. Just a fast paced environment (not a con just a note :)

      Great place to work and grow

      Pros

      I have loved my time working at HS. I started just before the pandemic began and they handled that transition with grace. The people at the company are all friendly and welcoming. DEI efforts have been a big focus in hiring. Leadership is transparent and managers work with ICs on their goals and growth path. The company has great benefits, including unlimited PTO (which they actually encourage you to take advantage of) and really support a healthy work/life balance.

      Cons

      It's a fast-growing startup, so there are some growing pains, but leadership does everything they can to address that. Wish there was a 401k matching program
