    Compass work culture is actually really, really good. I've been here for quite a while, and I've seen the company go through it's ups and downs wrt culture, viability, the like. I've also interviewed around many times before because I was convinced things couldn't improve. But they did and I was lucky enough to stay on board to see it happen. The company is totally different and I encourage you to give it shot; if you're looking to grow your career and work with actual people, not just coworkers or managers, you'll find it at Compass. I can't speak for grab or microsoft, as I've never worked there. I'm not trying to throw shade or sell anything, simply sharing my two cents (albeit a bit biased).

      What do you think about the leadership churn? I read news reports about less focus on technology. It’s concerning when executive leadership heads for the exits pre-IPO.

    Interesting on your perspective on Compass. Do you think the Compass Concierge is going to take the company to the next level. I think marketing center helped otherwise I still think collections is a big fail and the search functionality is still terrible. I admittedly use streeteasy.

      I like you answer and it’s really thought out. I’m on the same ship with you but and also a a pretty deep understanding of all of these items.

      What’s up with deals/ saved search and collections. So much potential but these products literally don’t work well.
      Organization for agents I think would create more money for the company in general. Why aren’t they focusing on the non sexy parts of the business?

      As someone who worked on the team for deals, SS, and collections, i can tell you that it's because we were understaffed relative to the scope of the codebase, functionality, remaining needed unfinished work, tech debt, etc.
