Pros

- Smart coworkers paired with a culture of humility. - Work-life balance is a priority. - Compensation is great. - I find the work to be much more rewarding than the countless FinTech and AdTech jobs in the city. Compass can be misconstrued as only benefiting luxury home buyers -- IMO this is a mischaracterization that ignores how Compass is challenging the status quo of an entrenched industry. The agent is the customer, not the buyer, and the success in the modernization of this relationship appears to be only the beginning in much grander plans for the industry.

Cons

- Things are moving quickly, you need to be a self-starter and comfortable with growing pains.

Pros

Some really great people, fully covered medical and dental, lunch, snacks, beautiful HQ

Cons

Zero alignment between leaders, no direction in terms of strategy, terrible review process which left people with no raises or promotions. No ability for ownership, growth or development, yet they expect you to work over the weekend. The CEO is a control freak and caters entirely to agents wants and needs with zero regard for the rest of the employee base. The values are just words used as a crutch to justify a bad decision. They so desperately want to be a technology company by the technology is sub par, which completely contradicts how they pitch the business. Their only redeeming quality is the beautiful and sophisticated advertising from the marketing team which again is catering to attracting agents. Their mission is to help everyone find their place in the world which sounds great except all listings are for luxury properties. It's very smoke and mirrors. They care more about how they appear on the outside than what's actually going on inside, which I can tell you first hand is sheer turmoil.
