Pros

I've been with Compass over 3 years now and have never worked at an organization with such incredibly bright, innovative, inquisitive humans. Compass is the kind of place that challenges you on a daily basis, makes you comfortable being uncomfortable, and gives you the freedom to come up with your own solutions. Each day I learn something new or am surprised by the enormous strides we are making together as a unified employee team. This is a place I plan to stay for the foreseeable future, with a long path of opportunity for career development along the way.

Cons

Being a national company brings up challenges in communication across cities and states, along with priority differentials between headquarters and regions. Compass has taken large strides in this department since I first began my journey with them.

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.
