Pluspunten

Incredible Talent: Handshake undoubtedly attracts some of the best professionals in the industry. Working alongside such talented individuals provided ample opportunities for growth and learning. Good Perks: The company does offer a range of enticing perks and benefits, which contribute to a positive work-life balance and overall employee satisfaction.

Minpunten

Egotistical Bottle-Necked Leadership: One of the major drawbacks at Handshake is the presence of egotistical, micro-managing leaders. These individuals tend to impose themselves unnecessarily in various projects, hindering progress and undermining the authority of project leaders. C-level Out of Touch: It's disheartening to witness a disconnect between the C-level executives and the rest of the company. The lack of understanding and involvement from higher-ups often leads to misguided decisions and inefficiencies. Toxic Micromanagement: The pervasive culture of micromanagement makes it difficult for employees to thrive. There is a constant feeling of walking on eggshells, as if any misstep could lead to repercussions. This stifles creativity and inhibits the ability to do one's best work.

Pluspunten

Real pay, many jobs, Slack for additional support, and flexible schedule geared towards Eastern time.

Minpunten

Schedule flexiblity still requires you to accept jobs in batches, without a definitive release date for each batch, and if you do not accept enough tasks in the timeframe you will be removed from the project. Timers do not pay if the task extends beyond the prescribed limit, and workers are encouraged to submit lower times regardless of the actual work required. For some tasks this is an extra 5 minutes, for others it could be an extra 20 hours.
