      Mixed bag, but the culture in engineering was great

      Pros

      Blame-free culture, some really smart senior engineers who have been at Compass a long time, using some of the best technologies used by all of the heavy hitters

      Cons

      Volatile environment, lots of churn, layoffs, pay is on the medium to lower end, and push to bring in more contractors to replace us engineers

      Pros

      - Okay pay. - Full remote. - Hard to think of any other pros.

      Cons

      - High manager turnover - Unprofessional - Coworkers berating other employees - No transparency - Poor communication from managers - Obscenely high workload (12 - 15 hours a day for long periods of time) - Expectations never communicated

      In the months post IPO, it went from great to miserable

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Team was incredibly thoughtful, helpful, and encouraging to new ideas - Managers were very supportive in my growth and wellbeing at the company - Base pay matched a lot of big tech companies

      Cons

      - Equity is worthless unless you are joining now - No 401K matching - Culture practically disappeared - Laid off 1,000 employees, then threw party to unify the remaining employees - If you don't drink the kool-aid on the new P&E team, you'll have a hard time progressing through leadership - CEO disappeared after June layoffs and didn't say a word to P&E teams until they had to do more layoffs
