Mission-driven company with a lot of talent
Mission-driven company with a lot of talent
Handshake operates with a strong sense of mission, and the entire team is genuinely dedicated to its pursuit.
Within the engineering organization, the talent pool is notably high, featuring numerous subject matter experts who contribute to a dynamic learning environment for junior and mid-level engineers.
The company culture fosters creativity, empowering individuals to propose and work on impactful product ideas, with high performance duly recognized.
Our leadership team, largely comprising professionals from FAANG companies, adds a valuable dimension to the organization.
Moreover, the company highly invests in and values Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), further enriching our collaborative and inclusive workplace.
My experience at Handshake has been fulfilling, and each day presents an opportunity for meaningful contributions and professional growth.
The work environment is dynamic and fast-paced, often necessitating the ability to assume various roles such as engineer, product manager, designer, and user researcher. While this may be perceived as challenging by some, for others, it represents a valuable learning opportunity and a chance to accelerate career growth.
Keep up the company culture. It is one of the best places I have worked at when it comes to culture.
