Pros

Handshake is an amazing company! It almost seems like it's a little secret that won't be a secret for that much longer. A lot of startups/companies claim that they are changing the world in a positive way, but by democratizing job opportunities Handshake is actually doing it. * Culture * Growing company * Smart, talented, passionate folks * Communication * Great, noble mission

Cons

* Perhaps missing some processes, but you would expect that at a small company that is growing. The only reason why I mention it is because I have to say something.

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).
