Pros
- great mission (in theory) - better than other career fair solutions /competitors used by universities - best job platform for college grads - connections with schools so employers have to use Handshake whether they like it or not - Decent swag - simple product to learn to use (not technical at all, which makes showing it a bit dull)
Cons
- Diversity is preached but there is little representation across all levels of the org - only top students are finding jobs on the platform and employers only want the best students anyway - lack of support and training across the org - internal politics and favoritism - feels like there is only 1 or 2 adults at the leadership level - product hasn’t looked different in years besides the logo refresh a few years ago - culture is poor/ toxic - unrealistic expectations in the role
