Pros

I had a great interview process, they responded quickly after submitting my resume and were always in touch during the interview process. I did have to go through many interviews with people from different departments but what was great was that they were done via phone or video chat so I did not have to travel to NYC. My interviews with my now direct managers, which were done in person in the region that I work in, were very pleasant and I felt comfortable talking with them. The interview process was more of a conversation than it was sitting there answering a list of questions off of a interview sheet. Currently working with Compass I feel supported and also inspired by the fast pace environment and motivation that all the regions have as a whole. Although I do not work in Head Quarters, which is in NYC, I still feel like you are part of the big picture of the company. Overall I have never felt so comfortable in a company where my needs are recognized and my opinion and ideas are considered. Compass is a great company to be part of and I love being in a company that is expanding and always looking towards the future.

Cons

One con, that may not be a con to everyone, is that you need to have a good grasp on technology as this company is half technology and half real estate and heavily relys on using different websites and platforms to connect everyone in the company. You will not find tons of file cabinets with endless about of files in the offices as Compass has really used modern technology to organizing the day to day workspace.

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.
