Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Handshake (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2019
Interview
Quick, clear and fun.
Handshake was extremely clear about their timeline and expectations for each interview. The interview questions themselves were not as tricky as some companies put candidates through. I found the questions (and the answers they received) to be a better indicator of Engineering skills than most engineering interviews typically produce.

Interviewing with Handshake was a very smooth experience. My remote interviews were scheduled very quickly and all of the interviewers I met with were friendly, knowledgable, and it was obvious that they enjoyed their role and were excited about the mission of Handshake.
