Pros

Although Handshake is technically a start-up, it doesn't really feel like it. One of our core values is Learn, Grow, Repeat, and it is evident that the leadership here takes that value very seriously for all employees as well as the company. Everyone at Handshake is supportive, wants you to succeed, and cares deeply that we are successful in what we do to best support students and recent grads. There are numerous avenues to learn individually and as a part of your team, as well as incredible opportunity to move up within the company.

Cons

Due to the fact that it is a start up, there is always something to do. This is great for people like me who need to stay busy in order to stay focused! But may not be for everyone

Pros

It's flexible and sometimes the money is OK. I got paid most of what they owed me.

Cons

Generally disorganized. The task I was on was one of the more highly paid ones but it was almost impossible to actually do in the allotted time. You aren't supposed to use AI but I think people must. The tasks run far over the time they are supposed to take. The human review system also seemed almost arbitrary. Reviewers did not have the subject matter expertise they claimed to. You will make less than the advertised hourly rate because the tasks routinely take longer than they say they will. If they have averages that are lower, those people are either not submitting accurate hours (there is incentive not to) or are using AI to train AI, which is a bigger problem (but not yours).
