      Pros

      - The impact we're making on students and our university and employer partners is truly palpable each day. The realization of our mission feels truly tangible, which is incredibly rewarding. - We're still building. If you want to be in an entrepreneurial environment, empowered to be an owner, this is a great place to be. - For those who do a great job, Handshake rewards you by promoting internally. I've gotten so many great (and serendipitous) opportunities here to expand my skill set and breadth of experience. - We've built a great culture of camaraderie, collaboration, while putting a high premium on excellence

      Cons

      - We're in a phase of growth right now where we're figuring out our second act. That can be really exciting, but there is also some uncertainty sometimes. If you're able to embrace that and rise to the challenge, this is the right place for you, but I also recognize it might not be the case for others. - We're relatively early in our journey of being an international company, so that's still a muscle we have to develop in terms of how to operate optimally. We're figuring it out though and the progress on this has been great to see.
