Pros

Fantastical culture and cool co-workers pays well average benefits

Cons

Management and those obviously being groomed for management were a little clique'y. Most of DC management did not seem to take feedback as constructive critique, instead it seemed they took it as dissent, which made it more difficult to fix problems. Unfortunate because most the people in management were really good people and had the potential to be great leaders, but fell short in most cases.

Pros

- high growth - managers are evaluated for their management performance - folks are paid reasonably - amazing culture - Robert is a thoughtful founder

Cons

Company has an identity crisis on being a tech company. Needs to really put tech front and center and bite the bullet on hard decisions to get there.

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.
