Cons
- This is the single most reason why good people are leaving this company. This company has the worst performance review practice in the industry ever. Reviews are often late by 5+ months and Comp increases are nonexistent/negligible. Don't expect Compass to up your pay even to adjust for inflation. Compass is all talk and will setup shows every week during review cycle that will appear to look like they are helping you. Don't fall for it, actually it' s a never ending reality show and not sincere. At the end of every cycle you will find the P&C people (usually hired as contractors) responsible for helping with comp reviews done in a timely manner fired/quit. Its a show like I said and its intentional and happens during every cycle. The idea is to keep you working here on a sub par pay for as long as it can. Don't believe me ? If you interview here, ask when was the last time the performance review was on time. - The base pay here is sub par. So much so that you could probably get better pay at series C/B startups in the area. The strike price is formidably high that you may have to shell out 50K+ if you want to buy your options for any reason after they vest. - Down leveling is the norm here. If you are considering an offer it's important for you to ask about the levels because your base pay depends on it. - They have 2 health care plans. The 100% company paid free health care plan is JUNK. You will pay a few thousands in deductibles and copays per year.
