Pros

- Amazing office and rooftop - Cool tech amenities (beer in the fridge, cold brew on tap, free catered lunch, company sponsored dinners) - Strong executive leadership team - Rewarding employees who are star performers, and they get acknowledged throughout the company.

Cons

- We set very aggressive company targets. Not a con, but sometimes business processes and operations need to catch up with our growth, but that comes with the territory of being a hyper growth company

Pros

Best work environment I've ever worked in. The company is very focused on culture and hiring top talent - both on the staff and agent side - which makes for a truly unique experience. Being a part of a company that is really changing an industry is exhilarating and definitely keeps things interesting. I feel like my work has true impact on the organization.

Cons

A very fast-paced work environment that can be demanding at times, but hard work is recognized and rewarded by senior leadership.

Pros

I had a great interview process, they responded quickly after submitting my resume and were always in touch during the interview process. I did have to go through many interviews with people from different departments but what was great was that they were done via phone or video chat so I did not have to travel to NYC. My interviews with my now direct managers, which were done in person in the region that I work in, were very pleasant and I felt comfortable talking with them. The interview process was more of a conversation than it was sitting there answering a list of questions off of a interview sheet. Currently working with Compass I feel supported and also inspired by the fast pace environment and motivation that all the regions have as a whole. Although I do not work in Head Quarters, which is in NYC, I still feel like you are part of the big picture of the company. Overall I have never felt so comfortable in a company where my needs are recognized and my opinion and ideas are considered. Compass is a great company to be part of and I love being in a company that is expanding and always looking towards the future.

Cons

One con, that may not be a con to everyone, is that you need to have a good grasp on technology as this company is half technology and half real estate and heavily relys on using different websites and platforms to connect everyone in the company. You will not find tons of file cabinets with endless about of files in the offices as Compass has really used modern technology to organizing the day to day workspace.
