Pros

- Very smart, passionate people in every division - Fast paced, ready to adjust and change to new information and ways of approaching the market - Recently brought in some strong executives and 2nd level leaders that have really changed company culture

Cons

- Needs more C/VP level executives - right now decisions are largely bottlenecked between a few people - Currently doing a major company pivot (Handshake AI) and its causing some thrash. This is also a positive thing for the future of the company but it does need to be addressed.

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).
