They strive to create good processes, but unfortunately, they still have more cons. The young CEO and founders suck, and they are very rude!
While it was obvious that they had a revenue shortage, they still over-hired to market their growth and only to fire people. They abruptly ended the employment of many folks without prior notice, hints, or warnings.
The worst part was that every employee was terminated with a poor performance reason and the worst severance before they could even vest their stocks. This company doesn't even have a chance to go public, and even if it does, those stocks won't be worth anything because the company is going south.
Forget money, forget terminations. It’s shameful that the managers terminated their direct reports with a poor performance reason. The funny part is, they know to themselves that they’ve never had issues with their performance; they appreciated them in the past in front of everyone. They never properly gave them feedback about their so-called worst performance.
Disappointing to have such managers; I'm pretty sure these managers will lead the rest of their careers holding this guilt. A lifetime lesson to not join a company like Handshake in the future.
Recruiters were quick to reach out and update after each round, and everyone was very nice. I love the fact that they were very transparent from the jump about what the role was going to look like.
4 rounds. 1 phone screening, 1 technical screening, 1 peer coding session, 1 behavioral with management. All rounds were fairly easy besides the peer coding session, which was 2.5 hours long with 2 engineers from the company. Passed all rounds exce
The interview was done by an AI. It was pleasant, but it was strange to not have any face-to-face interaction with another person. The interview was also very short, and the AI didn’t appear to work off of answers very well.
