## Review summary

Handshake shows real potential with easy in-app applications, field-relevant opportunities, and networking benefits. However, many users report serious reliability and UI issues (login errors, broken links), plus irrelevant or scam-like job listings and persistent emails even after unsubscribing. Onboarding can be clunky, and some employer experiences rely on a web browser. Overall, a strong concept hampered by usability, targeting, and communication problems.

### Pros

- Easy to apply directly from the app
- Offers real job opportunities in your field
- Helpful for networking and making introductions
- Useful for students to explore opportunities and build portfolios
- Some users have successfully landed jobs via Handshake

### Cons

- Frequent login/authentication errors and general UI problems
- Irrelevant/misleading job listings and scam-like postings
- Persistent emails and difficulty unsubscribing
- Missing or hard-to-use features (e.g., documents tab) and issues uploading/updating documents
- Onboarding friction and employer-side usability issues (university login loops, web-only interface)
