Pros

The benefits are great, I feel there is growth opportunity in my position, and it's exciting to be part of a company that is growing and looking to revolutionize the real estate industry. You can tell the leadership team believes in Compass and is working hard to make Compass a great place to work, a great real estate company for consumers, and a great organization for agents to affiliate with. I can also say that leadership has worked towards making improvements in areas that needed help (like providing management training, starting to hire more rapidly for teams that have consistently been under-staffed, make adjustments when given feedback from team members, and holding agents accountable for how they treat staff).

Cons

The culture is something that Compass pushes hard and at times it's difficult to feel like you're fitting in with the culture if you're an introvert. I don't particularly care about fitting in, but I sometimes feel pressured by Compass to do so.

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.
