Handshake

• Benefits are good.
• Fairly compensated.
• Diverse-ish teams.
• Remote options; never forced teams back into the office.
• Growth opportunities available.

Structure is an entire crap show, especially communication.

Lie/omit information during the interview process. I asked about how much time is spent in meetings on average, and my manager lied and said 3 hours. On average, I am in meetings 7-22 hours a week.

You will be on call and sometimes in multiple rotations. Another piece of information they will intentionally omit during interviews. So if you had a life, kiss that goodbye. Handshake is your life now.

Way too many cooks in the kitchen.

Some companies promote asking for forgiveness instead of permission. This isn't one. You need to talk to about 3-10 people before you can do anything, and if you try to just push something up that's seemingly harmless/low risk, you will still be "yelled at" for doing that in public.

Overly competitive culture.

Not inclusive, even though it's diverse, and the privilege shows.
