Pros

A lot of people ask me how I feel about Compass since I’ve been working here over the past year. I’ve had a lot of different careers in my life; over several industries. Compass is easily the best place I’ve ever worked. Never have I experienced the amount of resourcing they provide for their employees, nor the positivity in the attitude of world-class talent. Granted, the first few weeks were intimidating for me; trying to prove my worth in a multi-billion dollar organization but eventually, I’ve finally been able to say I’ve found my place in the world.

Cons

I wish I found this place sooner.

Pros

1. People - I am surrounded by unbelievably intelligent people at all times at Compass. An incredibly diverse set of world class leaders and the brightest minds of every industry and practice are around every corner. I'm constantly inspired to dream bigger and move faster. 2. Mobility and Development - Compass is a very flat organization. The room for upward mobility and career development is unparalleled. Managers ask about and are evaluated on their interest and commitment to helping direct reports succeed at Compass and beyond Compass. It shows. Leaders are engaged and interested in individual contributors impacts on the company and truly care about the experience at Compass. 3. Once in a lifetime - I will never have an experience in a role quite like this one, and that makes it incredibly exciting. Walking around the halls here is what I imagine it was like walking around the halls of Facebook or Google in their early days. This is a once in a generation company and it's a thrill to be apart of an organization that will transform an industry. 4. Leadership - The Leadership team is incredible - and it starts at the very top. Robert and Maëlle are fantastic leaders, that care deeply about the people who work at Compass. 5. Office - great facilities. The couches here are more comfortable than my couches at home.

Cons

1. Moving at this speed isn't for everyone - things move at Mach 5 here. Some people enjoy it, some people don't. A lack of a need or tolerance for speed will hold you back at Compass. 2. Crowded - it comes with hyper growth, but the offices are crowded. It's a good sign, but finding a conference room or a quiet spot can be tough sometimes 3. Lots to keep up with - in a growing Company, information can come at you fast. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of every initiative, and which are top priority.

Pros

Great culture, full of highly motivated people. The leadership team empowers their employees and provides for a transparent, open environment. To top it off, the company growth is amazing, which provides for a great energy.

Cons

Literally none thus far. Best Company I've worked for. One thing to be aware of is there are high demands of employees (especially to step up and help with the growth (interviews, training, feedback) so being a team player and going the extra mile is an absolute must at this company.
