Pros

COMPASS started off as a smaller company with a lot of heart and they recruited such people who were smart, motivated, and compassionate. I used to say that this company practiced what they preached about mental health. There might still be remnants of this company culture in some teams.

Cons

As the company grew and recruited more people who are used to more cutthroat, corporate ways of working, the company lost a lot of compassion and became a more toxic working environment. Many employees who originally brought the genuine compassionate energy have already left.

Pros

Newer employee here starting in the last few months. The hiring and onboarding experience was super purposeful. Really meaningful work, you feel like what you’re building actually matters. Great people, smart, down to earth, and easy to work with across the board, especially for an organization with so much employee growth recently! Very collaborative across teams with no territorial guarding. You’re trusted pretty quickly to contribute and have a point of view, which is great. You dive right in! Leadership cares about getting it right, not just moving fast. Having a focus on quality is awesome. No shortage of interesting problems to solve which keeps things engaging!

Cons

Working here requires comfort with ambiguity since we're building towards something really special and unique in the industry. Not necessarily a con if you like working in an environment like that!
