      Pros

      THE PEOPLE! Can't stress that enough, the peers that I work with are amazing.

      Cons

      Not a fan of RTO - Handshake is a sinking ship and exec seem to think bringing people back in office is the solution, it's not. It's "only 3 times a week" but I'm willing to bet by 2024 it's going to be 5 days a week. By then, I hope the company will experience more burn and churn.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. Like you, we think that our people are our best asset, and we know there is wide appreciation for the flexibility that working from home offers. While certain teams have been going into the office more regularly, others continue to operate in a distributed manner – it all depends on the function and the work. We know that in person work versus remote is a topic that inspires a lot of opinions, and both have their pros and cons.

      Pros

      It's flexible and sometimes the money is OK. I got paid most of what they owed me.

      Cons

      Generally disorganized. The task I was on was one of the more highly paid ones but it was almost impossible to actually do in the allotted time. You aren't supposed to use AI but I think people must. The tasks run far over the time they are supposed to take. The human review system also seemed almost arbitrary. Reviewers did not have the subject matter expertise they claimed to. You will make less than the advertised hourly rate because the tasks routinely take longer than they say they will. If they have averages that are lower, those people are either not submitting accurate hours (there is incentive not to) or are using AI to train AI, which is a bigger problem (but not yours).
