      Lots of Hype, Lots of Money - Not Much Substance

      Sales associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company has more money than they know what to do with, being thrown at them by big-money investors looking for an obscene IPO return. No shortage of marketing and word-of-mouth hype. Agents are often interested in joining because of marketing dollars thrown at them. Employee events and community support is largely PR-based.

      Cons

      Talk of Compass being a "technology company" is laughable. Platforms offer similar functions and features of many other real estate software solutions. Company is filled with prima donnas tripping over themselves to achieve status. Leadership is much more focused on buying market share than actually earning it.

      Could be great for some, bad for others

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      + Catered lunch twice a month and snacks in the offices. (NYC HQ gets daily catered lunch) + Medical, dental, vision premiums covered by Compass + Lots of offices means the opportunity to work at different locations + Has some amazing people here + Marketing/design team has done a stellar job at creating the brand and is what attracts so many agents/staff here + It's a startup so there is immense opportunity to learn, grow, and do more

      Cons

      - Some questionable hires - Fast-paced environment with immense workload where you often have to work late nights and on weekends to catch up - Cramped office space with limited resources for agents and staff - Things are constantly changing and nothing is ever set in stone which places a burden on everyone involved - The growing pains of a startup in hyper-growth. It can get extremely chaotic and unorganized If you're ready for a challenge and is someone that can roll with the punches then Compass is for you. If you're someone who requires stability then you should look elsewhere.

      Fantastic product and people, incredibly disorganized leadership

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fantastic product, great CEO, tons of hard working people.

      Cons

      Disorganized operational leadership, lack of cohesion among top leaders, constant contrary directive. Multiple different teams are working on similar projects, running in different directions and not communicating.
