Pros

Compass truly rewards entrepreneurially-minded workers. If you have great ideas, are willing to work hard and can adapt to change quickly, then you will be successful at Compass.

Cons

Compass is very agile and management is not scared to re-prioritize and sometimes completely re-direct focus away from things which aren't working and towards things which have more potential. This sometimes creates turbulence but means the company can move quickly on great ideas, which is without a doubt a reason behind their success.

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.
