Pluspunten

- Free health insurance - The company design is gorgeous and well thought out - The people I work with are fantastic/good people

Minpunten

- You are married to Compass. If you aren't 100% invested, it's looked down upon. You will be checking your email from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. Every meal is in the office (and it's designed this way to keep you there). Wake up, eat every meal at Compass, go to bed. - Managers are abysmal. Most of them do not have the experience or bandwidth to manage a team. As an employee, you go into the company directionless and they expect you to figure it out on your own. The impression people have is that if you are not succeeding, it's because of you, not the lack of supervision. It's sink or swim - but if you sink, it is your fault. - If you aren't 100% bought in or seem skeptical, people act like there is something wrong with you. People view life outside of work a weakness. Compass has created a cult-like culture where no one questions the status quo. - Little pay for a ton of hours and management likes to pretend that burn out doesn't exist

Pluspunten

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Minpunten

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
