Vantaggi
Some of the individual contributors that work here are the best I've ever known. I'm so happy I met them.
Svantaggi
- I was yelled at a few different times. Nothing was done to stop the behavior. I never even got an apology. It was supposedly accepted in the culture. - I had to re-live my high school and middle school experience every day at Handshake. The passive aggressive bullying, the whispering, the gossip. I still have nightmares about it to this day, and I left the company months ago. I'm hoping that writing this out for the world to see will help stop my nightmares. - The people who had been at Handshake for awhile were very defensive and skeptical of the new people coming in. It was very isolating, and it made me feel - as someone who was newer - that I wasn't ever going to be accepted. And when I left the company, most employees treated me as if they never knew me. It made me wonder what lies they spread about me when I left, or if they were scared to treat me like a friend. - The leadership ruins the potential for a positive work environment for everyone. This includes directors, VPs, and C-level. Not all of them - some of them I really admire and respect. But most made my life a living hell during my tenure at Handshake. I cried almost every day I worked there.
