THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT EMPLOYEES

Pros

There are no pros. Your job is never secure. Compass has to make sure their investors are ok and by doing that they FIRE EMPLOYEES and leave all the work in chaos!! Management has zero clue what they are doing.

Cons

Robert Reffkin cares about two people. The agents his (customer) and his investors who know he is not doing good. The employees are not cared about in anyway what so ever. RUN!!!

Pros

- Amazing talent across teams - Great people - Great agents (of course some tough ones, but generally speaking some great people) - Nice office space - MacBooks for all - Lots of vacation/holiday (now unlimited PTO and every holiday under the sun)

Cons

- Demanded in office full-time even during the pandemic - Incredibly low pay despite experience - Delusional leadership and management - Constant feeling of "employees dont matter, but agents do" - ZERO upward mobility (even after promised) - Unreasonable performance benchmarking - Inaccurate portrayal of job description - Cutting corners and costs in every way possible make it more difficult for the employees - Smoke in mirrors; telling everyone how we're doing SO well, but truly, we're not.

Pros

- Team was really good and full of really hard workers who wanted to make a significant difference for the product and business

Cons

- Leadership, leadership, leadership. This doesn't exist here. - No tech centric culture: you are asked and forced to do things by stakeholders with no care of how it impacts system architecture and how that architecture should scale to benefit the business long term - Stakeholders and business groups spearhead toward a destination with no clear vision on the desired outcome or how they want said outcome to influence the business in a positive way to help the company move forward in a positive direction - The culture is very toxic. Please be prepared to protect yourself and make sure you are keeping note of your ownership items in your projects to defend yourself when someone inevitably throws you under the bus - Transparency (goes back to leadership): very clear that leadership does not align or even collectively prepare before they address the business in all hands. They will be very vague to ensure that there is ambiguity and plausible deniability
