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.

Pros

The company offers a solid product with the strong market fit, making it easier to pitch to potential customers. Innovative solutions that address real customer pain points effectively. Great potential for growth if the leadership issues are resolved.

Cons

Management lacks direction and clear communication, leading to confusion and frustration. Quotas are set unrealistically high, making them nearly unattainable for most employees. Limited support and resources are provided to help employees succeed in their roles.
