Pros

One thing kept impressing me throughout these years at Compass is the quality of people it brings in, from technology, to operations and from support to sales. It's fascinating to receive help as well as challenges from a wide range thoughtful people. It makes me feel that I kept learning new things as time goes. Another area that the company excels is the determination to change and adapt. It's probably rooted in the culture that executive leadership team of the company acknowledges that few of them were real estate experts and therefore it's important to learn and improve from feedbacks of industrial experts.

Cons

Similar to many fast growing startups, the resource and maturity of operation occasionally fall behind to the speed of its growth, putting work under pressure and process at frequent evolvements. Luckily more so than not, we managed to go through these situations with successful results and the resulting achievements are rewarding.

Pros

I had a great interview process, they responded quickly after submitting my resume and were always in touch during the interview process. I did have to go through many interviews with people from different departments but what was great was that they were done via phone or video chat so I did not have to travel to NYC. My interviews with my now direct managers, which were done in person in the region that I work in, were very pleasant and I felt comfortable talking with them. The interview process was more of a conversation than it was sitting there answering a list of questions off of a interview sheet. Currently working with Compass I feel supported and also inspired by the fast pace environment and motivation that all the regions have as a whole. Although I do not work in Head Quarters, which is in NYC, I still feel like you are part of the big picture of the company. Overall I have never felt so comfortable in a company where my needs are recognized and my opinion and ideas are considered. Compass is a great company to be part of and I love being in a company that is expanding and always looking towards the future.

Cons

One con, that may not be a con to everyone, is that you need to have a good grasp on technology as this company is half technology and half real estate and heavily relys on using different websites and platforms to connect everyone in the company. You will not find tons of file cabinets with endless about of files in the offices as Compass has really used modern technology to organizing the day to day workspace.
