Pros
My colleagues at Handshake were hard-working and incredibly competent. It was inspiring to be part of a team where people were dedicated and skilled at what they did.
Cons
Ever-Shifting Priorities: The company's priorities were in constant flux, making it impossible to focus or plan effectively. Ineffective Communication: Communication was a mess, with unclear expectations and a lack of transparency. Disorganized Leadership: Leadership lacked direction and organization. Lack of Appreciation for Hardworking Employees: Hardworking employees were consistently overlooked, causing burnout and low morale. Misguided "Performance-Driven" Culture: The company's push for a "performance-driven" culture only encouraged more work from already overburdened teams, neglecting the need for proper support and resources. This also led to poor work-life balance for some. My colleagues and I consistently tried communicating these issues with leadership, but were never met with solutions. I cannot recommend this company to anyone seeking a healthy work environment.
