Pros

Top talent in almost every role. Great emphasis around company culture and treating people with respect and kindness. High bar for hiring and retaining people who live up to the values of the company. A smart business model proven to be working with all signs pointing toward continual growth. Forward-thinking and always looking for a better answer to a specific challenge. Never satisfied with the norm. A clear and powerful mission that the whole company is aligned behind with the feeling that we can all make an impact on. With everything going on, leadership still promotes a good work and life balance.

Cons

When companies move as fast as this one does they tend to not put the proper systems in place to help scale. This has historically been a bit of an issue but to be expected for the rapid growth that we have gone through. That being said there has been a focused and pro-active approach to improving this in the past 6 months.

Pros

Great colleagues, superb values, comfortable office, plenty of perks, lots of transparency (not 100%, but still). Difficult to imagine working at any other company after this one.

Cons

Not that bad in itself, but Compass doesn't offer traditional career paths and progression. Rather, you work to become (and remain) the best possible expert in your field, and innovate ways in which you can contribute to the company.

Pros

Compass is a great place to work if you like a fast-paced environment and having extremely smart colleagues. One of the most rewarding things about working at Compass is having your ideas and feedback welcomed and not having to wait before seeing those ideas put into action. You will get to interface with management at all levels which is great especially for less senior employees. Perks include daily catered lunch, free snacks, monthly happy hours, weekly meditation, and great benefits.

Cons

Occasional growing pains – you will wear many hats at Compass!
