Vantaggi

They strive to create good processes, but unfortunately they still have more cons. Young CEO, founders suck &; they are very rude!

Svantaggi

While it was obvious that they had revenue shortage, they still over-hired to market their growth & only to fire people. They abruptly ended employment of many folks without a prior notice or hints or warnings. The worst part being, every employee was terminated with a poor performance reason with worst Severance before they can even vest their stocks. This company doesn't even have a chance to go public and even if does, those stocks won't be worth anything, because company is going south. Forget money, forget terminations. It’s shameful that the managers terminated their direct reports with a poor performance, funny part, they know to themselves that they’ve never had issues with their performance, they appreciated them in the past infront of everyone. They never properly gave them a feedback about their so called worst performance. Disappointing to have such managers, pretty sure these managers will lead their rest of career holding this guilt. A lifetime lesson to not join a company like Handshake in the future.

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.
