Pros

Great coworkers, lots of talented hard workers. Compass is well positioned in the real estate market, which is massive and doesn't have a lot of real competitors with the same agent-first philosophy. They have snacks and good health insurance.

Cons

Poor leadership, top-down reactive decision making, very poorly staffed HR, employees are treated differently based on office location and job type, ruthless business decisions such as laying me off right before I was going on parental leave, deciding to not pay out vacation days to laid off employees, cutting salaries of all employees (except P&E), thinks of themselves as a tech company but doesn't treat their employees as well as the other tech companies I've worked for. The only company I have ever worked at with no 401k matching.

Pros

Real estate agents are their customers. All the technology and tools are designed to help agents work more effectively.

Cons

There is a push to earn a higher commission from each transaction. There is no cap on the amount you pay Compass.
