Pros

Compass is an exciting place to be, and motivated individuals looking to take on lots of dynamic work will do well here. Team members are given ample autonomy and there's a lot of opportunity to grow and progress if you're a self-starter. The employees at Compass are genuinely the smartest, most down to earth people as a whole that I've ever worked with; I can legitimately say I like everyone I work with. Hard work and results are fairly rewarded and recognized, and there's a lot of opportunity for moving up the career ladder.

Cons

Working with an array of agent personalities can be tough, and at times staff can take a bit of a beating. That said, I think Compass has worked through a lot of its growing pains and agents seem to be getting a better understanding of how to work well with the teams. The fast growth and changes in direction at Compass is mostly exciting, but people who like a consistent day-to-day or static goals may find it frustrating.

Pros

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Cons

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
