      Handshake is more than just a workplace; it's a company where you matter and can grow.

      Pros

      I really like how Handshake prioritizes their employees —their well-being, their work satisfactions, their personal growth, and their aspirations. The EU team is a diverse and fun team, we get together regularly for team-building events and social gatherings. Handshake's flexible work hours and remote work options have been a lifesaver, and having a dog-friendly office in Berlin is also a huge plus!

      Cons

      The time zone differences could slightly delay/interrupt communication, as we have a 6-10 hour difference depending on location.
