Pros

Collaborative peers, unparalleled support staff of marketing, agent ops, IT. All software is built in-house based on our recommendations and by a team of engineers/product experts from DE Shaw/Google/Facebook/Twitter/Linkdin. The tech has made my job easier, but the culture is the best I have encountered at any company. Compass works hard to keep the supportive & collaborative culture consistent even through its tremendous growth. Morale remains high with my peers, buoyed even more so with the latest round of series E investment of $550million....

Cons

We are growing fast and the offices have been reorganized to accommodate more staff & agents so expect some shifting of office spaces, but they make every effort to accommodate a fruitful work environment
