I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Compass (Nashville, TN) in June 2018
Interview
It started off great, but I was unfortunately a part of a situation where after interviewing in all rounds, my recruiter left the company, and in the wake of doing so, dropped my application. I went weeks without hearing a word, even with reaching out to various people. In the end, the company had moved to a new candidate. I will chuck it up to it being a newer company with not a great regional setup where I am located, but it was frustrating. I will say that I have friends who work for this company (not as Realtors) and they adore it.

Question 1
What makes you interested in working for a company like Compass?
A short two phone interview. Process has clearly changed in two years. I interview with someone in NYC, and then another person in SF. Was offered the job a day later.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Compass (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
The recruiter and agents I interviewed with were all friendly and kind throughout the process. During my phone screen, the recruiter gave very candid advice. They provided feedback and ultimately went with other candidates since they thought I lacked enough presentation experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Compass (Beverly Hills, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Interview consisted of an email interview, a phone interview, and an in person interview with three different Compass employees. The process was fairly simple and straight forward. After each round I advanced in, I was communicated with quickly to let me know about next steps. There was one hiccup where I expected to get an offer and ended up needing to wait a week due to logistics on behalf of the business.

Question 1
The person who would become my direct report asked me why I left my previous job and if I should have spent more time there before departing. This was a great question because it caught me off guard and it forced me to think about and demonstrate my decision making for life decisions bigger than finishing a project or working with a team. Excellent question!
