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

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.
