Pros

One thing kept impressing me throughout these years at Compass is the quality of people it brings in, from technology, to operations and from support to sales. It's fascinating to receive help as well as challenges from a wide range thoughtful people. It makes me feel that I kept learning new things as time goes. Another area that the company excels is the determination to change and adapt. It's probably rooted in the culture that executive leadership team of the company acknowledges that few of them were real estate experts and therefore it's important to learn and improve from feedbacks of industrial experts.

Cons

Similar to many fast growing startups, the resource and maturity of operation occasionally fall behind to the speed of its growth, putting work under pressure and process at frequent evolvements. Luckily more so than not, we managed to go through these situations with successful results and the resulting achievements are rewarding.

Pros

Compass takes care to put effort and thought into the staff and agent experience for every initiative - whether it's meetings, office space, processes, or branding, and it shows. Every day I witness staff of all levels and departments putting their heads together to figure out what kind of planning needs to happen in order to successfully achieve progress and wins. The energy is high, agents seem happy and excited to be there, and there is a positive, upbeat vibe around problem solving, celebrating wins, and the future.

Cons

The onboarding/training process was very loosely structured, which was a bit stressful and boring at first. Now that things are ramped up I see that most of this is because of the nature of the work (no two days are the same and my position involves lots of 1:1 meetings with agents), but I think Compass would do well to run a more official program of onboarding into the real estate industry/the company history, values, etc. before releasing new employees to their teams.

Pros

Compass has an amazing company culture. Everyone is very friendly and there is a sense of collaboration and community that I have not felt at previous employers. There onboarding and orientation process is AMAZING and really makes you feel like you are part of something special. I have been in my new role for a few weeks and I am absolutely loving it. I would highly recommend Compass to anyone who is looking for an amazing company culture, challenging and stimulating work and an overall awesome environment.

Cons

I honestly have not encountered any downsides to working at Compass. It has been a great experience so far.
