Compass is on the move!

Pros

Truly an amazing company! Aside from having a very strong collaborative culture, Compass keeps acute focus on developing ways to make the real estate industry better. From creating platforms, apps, and an environment for agents to be more productive and efficient, to easing and informing the process of buying and selling for clients and customers - Compass is improving it all!

Cons

Being fast-paced in an industry that can have many moving parts often creates the need to pause and reflect on what's working and what's not. Compass is still young and learning from change, feedback, and mistakes. While I don't necessarily consider this a con, one must be prepared to be flexible and willing to flow with a company on this trajectory.

Pros

- Amazing office and rooftop - Cool tech amenities (beer in the fridge, cold brew on tap, free catered lunch, company sponsored dinners) - Strong executive leadership team - Rewarding employees who are star performers, and they get acknowledged throughout the company.

Cons

- We set very aggressive company targets. Not a con, but sometimes business processes and operations need to catch up with our growth, but that comes with the territory of being a hyper growth company

Pros

The company culture is by far the best that I have ever seen. Employees enjoy coming to work each day and the ability to collaborate with some of the brightest minds from all backgrounds is the biggest positive that Compass offers. Management cares about growth of their employees and constantly looking for ways to assist in personal and professional development. Leadership is always open to new ideas and feedback.

Cons

Still new processes and systems being created daily.
