Pros

Interesting office space, fun perks, some friendly people

Cons

Very cliquish. Some senior management have a tendency towards gossiping about employees. How the layoff was handled (and how ex-employees were talked about) was unprofessional. Product is average, the focus is more on appearing like we know what we're doing rather than maintaining solid service.

Pros

Has a strong foothold of the early-talent market, holding contracts at 90% of universities in the uSA

Cons

Quotas are unrealistically high, leadership has been getting swapped in and out constantly. Handshake is a nice-to-have, whereas LinkedIn Talent Solutions can do what Handshake does while simultaneously capturing the entirety of the hiring market outside of early-talent. In fact, we ironically do most of our SDR hiring (cough cough entry level job) on LinkedIn.
