Pros

- Hybrid work - catered food for office days - The coworkers are the best part and other teams in the offices - Have all the relevant softwares you need

Cons

- Horrible management. C levels do not know what they are doing. - This is a nice to have product. It’s not a need. The price that we sell Handshake for is too expensive to justify for companies to buy. - They let go of everyone. Since my time here 15 people have been let go and they’re just going to let go of more people if they do not hit their number. - 85% of the team does not hit quota. - You are an SDR. They track calls and emails more than they track closed won deals. - Managers micromanage. All the good AE’s are leaving.

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).
