Pros

Companies have growing pains, and Compass is no different. What differentiates us is our self-awareness and authentic desire to improve. How far we've come in the two years since I've been employed is so inspirational. The epitome of an open door culture, my voice is always heard. When I see an area of improvement, I speak up, offer suggestions for a solution and help with forward action where possible. I'm constantly learning and am very proud to be a part of a culture that offers tremendous and equal opportunities to everyone no matter title or background.

Cons

We're growing and with that there's a lot to be done = long hours at times. However, great work is rewarded and always appreciated at Compass. Loving what you do also helps :)

Pros

Sure, your typical great "startup" stuff - open spaces, stocked fridges, catered lunches, and monthly happy hours. Also has a flexible WFH policy which is fantastic for staff. There are certainly some great diamonds to be found in the employees here, but it's not super common.

Cons

Leadership is too young, too financially-driven, and not at all transparent. It's extremely male-dominated, and there is a super bizarre culture of talking behind everyone's backs. Management doesn't know how to take care of its employees yet, which is ridiculous considering it's no longer a small, nimble startup. It should be mature enough to know how to treat people with respect and keep turnover at a minimum. Very reactive and not at all proactive.

Pros

Brilliant product / engineering / design team, excellent and friendly culture, and a great office featuring cool amenities like catered lunch, a fully stocked fridge, a ping pong table, a pool table, and a video game room. Work life balance is quite good. Unlimited WFH / sick days is nice, so long as you don't abuse the privilege. The company is certainly starting to feel like it is transitioning from a startup to a more corporate type work environment, in that there is a strict emphasis on tight code review and more process from product spec down to development. Company has and continues to expand rapidly and succeed in other regions, and has a positive looking future.

Cons

Comp seems to be an issue company-wide, which has led to some turnover. Engineering culture (while good) is quite separate from the rest of the team.
