Pros

Flexible time off policy but that's about it.

Cons

This is truly the worst place I've ever worked and I've worked in a few toxic environments. There is a push for 100% back in office to build "culture" but forcing people back in office without a regard for your employees isn't how you do it. Everything revolves around the agents and upper management will let the agents get away with being rude and disrespectful. The CEO and upper management have an old school backward mindset. There is a serious lack of diversity, don't let the biracial CEO fool you. During your interview, they might try telling you about the amazing "culture" Compass has and how great of a company it is to work at but there is so much work to be done to get it to be what Compass used to be. Don't be fooled and find your place elsewhere.

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.
