Pros

- Engineers are empathetic and generally willing to give their time to help - Remote-friendly for existing engineers - Good salary compared to other companies - Company uses widely used tech stack

Cons

- Many Execs (Directors and above) come from Amazon and other FAANG companies. They try to project that culture onto Compass, which doesn't necessarily make sense. This leads to often shifting and often unclear priorities, laying off people and trying to force in-office work on new employees - Engineers on some product teams and many contractors are pretty weak IMO. I was often tasked with fixing problems introduced by others who took little to no responsibility

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.
