Pros

Having recently joined Compass, all I can say about the company, its mission, and the people in it is ..... "simply amazing". Compass is a unicorn. It is that rare company that combines passion, focus, execution, vision, and has a heart and a soul. It values its agents and employees, putting them at the center of what it does. It innovates relentlessly, looking to build solutions that matter. It services its agents with passion, ensuring their success. And, the company consistently looks to get better. It is fast moving, willing to take risks, and willing to learn. The company that does all of this will win. That company is Compass. Every market has its dominant player and winner. Compass will win because it leads with vision, passion, empathy, and has the resourcing, focus, and commitment to change the industry.

Cons

The only con is also a pro. The company is not satisfied with good. It wants great. Being great isn't easy, so if you prefer settling, this isn't your place.

Pros

Some really great people, fully covered medical and dental, lunch, snacks, beautiful HQ

Cons

Zero alignment between leaders, no direction in terms of strategy, terrible review process which left people with no raises or promotions. No ability for ownership, growth or development, yet they expect you to work over the weekend. The CEO is a control freak and caters entirely to agents wants and needs with zero regard for the rest of the employee base. The values are just words used as a crutch to justify a bad decision. They so desperately want to be a technology company by the technology is sub par, which completely contradicts how they pitch the business. Their only redeeming quality is the beautiful and sophisticated advertising from the marketing team which again is catering to attracting agents. Their mission is to help everyone find their place in the world which sounds great except all listings are for luxury properties. It's very smoke and mirrors. They care more about how they appear on the outside than what's actually going on inside, which I can tell you first hand is sheer turmoil.
