Process
Pairing interview, working through a Rails web application, panel interview covering various technical aspects.
Recruiting team was very accommodating with my schedule and helped to expedite the process, as I had a pending offer from another company. They were good about sending materials beforehand to prepare you on what to expect for the interview.
I received vague feedback about why they were not moving forward, but it's not a huge deal.

Handshake Work Experiences
- 1.0Insane Pace, No PromotionsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesMay 7, 2023Pros: Pay is above average, at first.Cons: Getting promoted is almost impossible. Pace is insane, which leads to more and more tech debt. Engineering org is a house of cards.
- 5.0Handshake is more than just a workplace; it's a company where you matter and can growSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBerlin, GermanyJanuary 17, 2024Pros: I really like how Handshake prioritizes its employees: their well-being, their work satisfaction, their personal growth, and their aspirations. The EU team is a diverse and fun team. We get together regularly for team-building events and social gatherings. Handshake's flexible work hours and remote work options have been a lifesaver, and having a dog-friendly office in Berlin is also a huge plus.Cons: The time zone differences could slightly delay or interrupt communication, as we have a 6-10 hour difference depending on location.
- 5.0Great company, welcoming and energetic cultureSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDenver, Colorado, United StatesMarch 11, 2022Pros: - They work hard at diversity and representation. - There are lots of opportunities. - The people are amazing.Cons: The codebase is in an in-between phase, so it can be a little unwieldy. The issue is constantly being discussed, improved, and iterated upon, though.
