Pros

The company has a very friendly work environment and culture. They care about interns learning the skills they want to learn. Handshake doesn't shy away from putting interns into positions where they are doing real, meaningful work

Cons

I have to write a minimum of 20 words in this box but I only really have one thing to say: San Francisco is expensive to live in (luckily the company pays well enough that this isn't a huge issue, and also offers remote employment for certain roles)

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).
