Pros

- Fast-paced environment where my ideas are heard and I am empowered to make an impact and improve the way the business works - Surrounded by team members who are passionate, believe there's a better way, and want to deliver great work - Agents are a pleasure to work with, respect the Employee team and want to play a role in helping us grow and better our systems - Appreciate that the business is transforming the way we deliver for our Agents. Proud to be a contributor creating the best Agent experience in the industry - Robert and the exec team's vision and mission for the company are clear. - Feel fortunate to work for a company that recognizes we're growing really fast and that sometimes communication can get lost, albeit unintentionally. Compass works very hard to deliver on transparency and information. We have multiple all-hands meetings and other forums to ask questions and get feedback.

Cons

- We're growing so fast and that means there is a lot of work to do. The hours can be long and the work doesn't end. This is an environment where some thrive and others may not. If you love to create, build, and execute at super hyper speed for high impact, this is your place. If that sounds scary, it may not be a great fit for you. - The hiring process can be long and a bit difficult. Because we're growing so quickly, that means a lot of interview rounds to be scheduled and to conduct. There are a lot of people you meet along the way and the questions aren't a breeze to tackle. I recommend being patient, following up with your contacts if you're not hearing from Compass in the timeline you're expecting, and don't be surprised if you get some non-standard interview questions thrown your way.

Pros

I have felt such a strong sense of community and support since the moment I met Robert Reffkin at Compass. His passion for our industry made the choice to take my business to Compass an easy one. Since joining Compass over two years ago I have had the best years of my career and I praise Compass for that success. Stellar management, spectacular marketing support, community events that strengthen and the best of the best leadership are just a few of the gems one can take away from working here.

Cons

Truly, I have none. I love Compass.

Pros

1. People - I am surrounded by unbelievably intelligent people at all times at Compass. An incredibly diverse set of world class leaders and the brightest minds of every industry and practice are around every corner. I'm constantly inspired to dream bigger and move faster. 2. Mobility and Development - Compass is a very flat organization. The room for upward mobility and career development is unparalleled. Managers ask about and are evaluated on their interest and commitment to helping direct reports succeed at Compass and beyond Compass. It shows. Leaders are engaged and interested in individual contributors impacts on the company and truly care about the experience at Compass. 3. Once in a lifetime - I will never have an experience in a role quite like this one, and that makes it incredibly exciting. Walking around the halls here is what I imagine it was like walking around the halls of Facebook or Google in their early days. This is a once in a generation company and it's a thrill to be apart of an organization that will transform an industry. 4. Leadership - The Leadership team is incredible - and it starts at the very top. Robert and Maëlle are fantastic leaders, that care deeply about the people who work at Compass. 5. Office - great facilities. The couches here are more comfortable than my couches at home.

Cons

1. Moving at this speed isn't for everyone - things move at Mach 5 here. Some people enjoy it, some people don't. A lack of a need or tolerance for speed will hold you back at Compass. 2. Crowded - it comes with hyper growth, but the offices are crowded. It's a good sign, but finding a conference room or a quiet spot can be tough sometimes 3. Lots to keep up with - in a growing Company, information can come at you fast. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of every initiative, and which are top priority.
