I have never felt compelled to write a review for job process prior to my experience interviewing with Handshake AI. I have worked for 10 years at MBB firms, and large publically traded tech companies. I was rerouted to a different role than listed and initially screened for. When I agreed to be considered for the role I found a time. My interviewer texted me 90 seconds before the interview was set to start the following week to tell me it was actually full. No sorry, no acknowledgment of the experience as a candidate, and no consideration for the time taken to prepare. For a company that emphasizes its engagement with talent and is built on creating positive outcomes for employers and candidates, this was shockingly unprofessional. I came away thinking very poorly of management.

The first interview was simple and more like a coffee chat. I was asked basic questions like why handshake, relevant past experiences, and general run through of my experiences and times I worked under pressure/demonstrated leadership.
