Pros

Companies have growing pains, and Compass is no different. What differentiates us is our self-awareness and authentic desire to improve. How far we've come in the two years since I've been employed is so inspirational. The epitome of an open door culture, my voice is always heard. When I see an area of improvement, I speak up, offer suggestions for a solution and help with forward action where possible. I'm constantly learning and am very proud to be a part of a culture that offers tremendous and equal opportunities to everyone no matter title or background.

Cons

We're growing and with that there's a lot to be done = long hours at times. However, great work is rewarded and always appreciated at Compass. Loving what you do also helps :)

Pros

Brilliant product / engineering / design team, excellent and friendly culture, and a great office featuring cool amenities like catered lunch, a fully stocked fridge, a ping pong table, a pool table, and a video game room. Work life balance is quite good. Unlimited WFH / sick days is nice, so long as you don't abuse the privilege. The company is certainly starting to feel like it is transitioning from a startup to a more corporate type work environment, in that there is a strict emphasis on tight code review and more process from product spec down to development. Company has and continues to expand rapidly and succeed in other regions, and has a positive looking future.

Cons

Comp seems to be an issue company-wide, which has led to some turnover. Engineering culture (while good) is quite separate from the rest of the team.

Pros

The tech tools for brokers are very good. The IT support is extremely fast & effective. Issues with computers tend to be resolved within minutes. All brokers here are driven, successful, and come in with years of experience.

Cons

Most of the engineers have no personality, hard to talk to, and seems to avoid others outside of the engineering group. Outside of the real estate managers, "Corporate" & brokers are separated and not much communication happens between the two groups. Desk space for brokers are sub par compared to industry standards. Virtually no space between desks.
