Vantaggi

Absolutely amazing product, business model, and people to work with/for. Handshake's platform is the #1 resource for all students in the US and 900 universities leverage the platform to allow their students to connect with jobs from over 400,000 companies (which is completely free for students + alumni). Leadership and nearly all of the employees are insanely driven, focused on putting students first, and have an awesome future vision for the company. Work-Life balance is one of the best I've seen. Need time off? No problem. Treat you like an adult and allow you to work on your time (in a very reasonable fashion).

Svantaggi

It's growing really fast and with any "start-up" there is lots of change. Pretty impossible to avoid and can be frustrating at times, but provides lots of area for growth and learning. Are the CEO & some of leadership young with a lot to learn? Definitely. However, the CEO specifically has over 3 executive coaches, is Forbes 30 under 30, cares more about people than any other CEO I've ever met, and tries harder than any SaaS CEO I've worked for to make the company a fun place to work. Last, not a con at all, but Handshake is just beginning to monetize (as any for profit needs to do), which has the "tenured" employees questioning (now that revenue is coming in) if the #1 goal is to help students rather than just to make a profit. The reality is revenue only allows the company to build a better product for students, so ultimately it's an extremely positive "change".

Vantaggi

Challenging, interesting position in the short term.

Svantaggi

The company has implemented a new timer policy that has “active” and “inactive” time on the backend that makes up for the total time. We were getting paid by total time (as you should), but HAI has changed it to only pay contributors for the time marked “active.” Time is “active” when scrolling, typing, and clicking within the specific task tab. Time is “inactive” when none of the previous actions are happening; i.e., when reading the task without moving the mouse or pressing keys, researching in another tab, etc. It sounds like they have changed the rules to only pay for active time, which has caused huge pay discrepancies. The percentage of inactive time is usually way more than active time on these timers due to the amount of reading, visual analyzing, thinking, and research required for some tasks. This behavior is unacceptable because time that seems “inactive” is still important to the quality and completion of tasks. They keep throwing accusations like “time thieves” around to justify it. If you respect yourself, pack it up and go somewhere else. I know most people who work at these places are desperate for income, but that’s exactly what they’re hoping for. They’re hoping you will be desperate enough to be taken advantage of.
