Pros

- most of the people you meet are great people - sometimes the engineering is ok? - good place to pad your resume

Cons

where do you even start? - someone said "Amazon of Real Estate" is correct - nobody has any idea what to do - the company picks up all the engineers that don't make it to other companies underpaid at your current company? not very good at data structure and algorithms? couldn't make it to anywhere else? join compass!

Pros

- Tech company perks — cool product, great benefits, flexible time off, and being part of a national company with name-brand recognition. - Wonderfully smart, clever people to work alongside with, and no office politics or toxic team culture! Compass's people are top-notch, when they're allowed to let loose a little. - Passionate, active Diversity Council creating tangible changes in the Real Estate community. Incredible speaker series, roundtables, and events were a real highlight of my time there.

Cons

- A bizarre, exclusionary internal communication structure that creates siloed departments and teams. The need-to-know culture trickles down from the top, leaving folks in the field scrambling with last-minute information. - Habit of throwing money at new talent instead of promoting/appropriately compensating the great team already under the hood. If you're applying, negotiate up front! You won't see bonuses or substantial increases once you're on payroll. - Emphasis on selling the product (Compass tech platform) instead of helping the agents — hitting KPIs is the first priority, agent needs the second. - A 'That's not my job' team culture — obsession with lanes, internal procedure, and moving agents through the steps as efficiently as possible. No room for creative problem solving or using your brain. If you like talk tracks, you'll be right at home.
