      Disorganized and dysfunctional

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Smart people, strong hires - Competitive comp package - Relatively flat organization - Motivated leadership team

      Cons

      - Strategy changes constantly - Lack of direction leads to a loss of productivity, confusion, and wastes company resources - People are packed like sardines into the offices - Work life balance is poor, ‘always on’ culture - Culture feels more like finance than a tech firm - Willingness to cut corners to ‘win’ - Budget cuts across company

      Don't come here

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - It's getting harder to recruit talent, so you may be able to negotiate a comp package similar to that of Amazon - The place is so disorganized you may be able to get away with doing very little work while being paid well - Used to be a fun place to work where you could do a lot and learn a lot (no longer)

      Cons

      - Place is infested with bad former Amazon leadership. Nothing against Amazon, but we took all the bad Amazon middle and upper management. I spend most of my time teaching middle management on what's going on vs learning from them. - As a PM, you will spend most of your time preparing useless documents that will be read once (or not even once). You will not learn any PM skills. - Extremely top down, no product strategy, constant reorganization - Lots of competent people are leaving, overall talent pool is getting worse - Product does not generate any revenue. Leadership can probably get rid of 50% of P&E without any impact to revenue (huge improvements to cost), so watch out for cost reduction efforts when the real estate market is no longer at an all time high and/or when the public market wants to see positive net income - Business model has no moat. Any brokerage with funding can recruit agents and keep them with $$. - Trust me, do yourself a favor and don't come here

      Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy

      Agent experience manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Snacks in the office, there are some good people there if you can get past working with the power-hungry tyrants trying to claw their way to the top stepping on everyone in the way.

      Cons

      HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT. The company feels like high school, there are cliques, the "popular kids" help promote the people that they like to better positions. The highest levels of leadership do not listen to anything their employees say. All they care about is optics and the bottom line. RUN do not walk in the opposite direction of this company. The fact that Agents are allowed to write reviews about this company and skew the results in Compass' favor is unfair and should be taken away on glassdoor. Prospective employees are not seeing the full picture because of all the 5's real estate agents have put on here. THEY ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. They are not employed by Compass.
