Great people meet interesting opportunities
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.
