Huge growth, opportunity to have a BIG impact
Pros
Like the headline says, Compass is growing fast and there's tons of opportunity to have an impact. Unlike FAANG there's no bureaucracy here, the CEO and leadership team only care about getting to the right answer. And unlike many other pre-IPO start ups there's a real focus on culture and employees. There's a real company here, and if you're hungry and have great ideas you can go far.
Cons
The CEO Robert cares SO MUCH, and has such a strong vision for the future of the company that he can get bogged down in the tiniest of details like font size on yard signs. It can be disempowering to have him in the weeds on a project you're working on. But once you realize it's because he cares and values the work you're doing it can become a positive.
