Pros

When I decided to join Compass, I was convinced I was joining a firm that allowed its employees to truly be a part of the ongoing development of the firm. Not only is that true, but, to a great extent than I even thought. My input not only was heard, but, sought out! Feedback and collaboration are not just words but are actually practiced.

Cons

We need a few more staff members to assist in our rapid growth and we haven't found enough of the best talent, yet.

Pros

- Surrounded by people who have incredible work backgrounds from various industries, all passionate about their contribution to this company. - Healthy communication from executive leadership team through various channels (i.e.emails, all-staff meetings). Complete transparency. - You're able to easily measure your success. Management is excellent at communicating goals and coaching you through it. - Very collaborative environment. - No egos - Strong emphasis on happiness and culture, which they (by action) really uphold to - As big as the company has gotten and as it continues to grow, I see amazing effort being placed on maintaining that "start-up" environment: being able to express thoughtful opinions, holding social gatherings, communication from the top down, collaboration. - The company listens to feedback and acts upon it. - They're proactive!

Cons

Quite honestly, I have no cons.

Pros

The executives don't just say things to look good, you can tell they genuinely believe in their efforts, and hoping to transform an industry. They care. I can say that from the top to the bottom of employees, this company has a culture of caring. If you like to work, and find enjoyment in being more than just a cog in a machine, Compass would fit you. You definitely have to strive for excellence, because they don't accept anything less. When this company sees a flaw in how they're doing things, they laser focus their efforts to fix it. Compass is extremely nimble, and always craving feedback to improve itself. The company's values are the values that every person should strive to achieve, in all aspects of life.

Cons

There can be a few egos. But maybe that's what you get when you only hire excellence. Also, as everyone else has said, be prepared to move fast and work hard.
