Pros

The tech at Compass is unmatched and creates a smooth workflow for agents. The culture is very collaborative and positive.

Cons

There are not enough manangers for the amount of agents, so their time is spread thin and it can be hard to get one on one time and attention.

Pros

- Engineers are empathetic and generally willing to give their time to help - Remote-friendly for existing engineers - Good salary compared to other companies - Company uses widely used tech stack

Cons

- Many Execs (Directors and above) come from Amazon and other FAANG companies. They try to project that culture onto Compass, which doesn't necessarily make sense. This leads to often shifting and often unclear priorities, laying off people and trying to force in-office work on new employees - Engineers on some product teams and many contractors are pretty weak IMO. I was often tasked with fixing problems introduced by others who took little to no responsibility
