Compass Digital Reviews

i ) Strong relationship between management and employees: - Things are very transparent here. From what I've personally seen, management will go to bat for you so that you can perform to the best of your abilities. - For projects and directions, managers are always open to suggestions regarding technologies and workflows. If you can make a case for your idea, it's almost always given a lot of consideration, if not making its way into projects. - If you have a grievance or concern, it's as simple as walking over to where your manager sits and requesting a meeting and these usually happen within the day. ii ) Cross-pollination of ideas between teams: - Everyone is very approachable. Some of my most informative discussions have been from informal chats with members of other teams. - Everyone is very willing to share knowledge. I've met with technical leads and platform architects just to learn about a certain domain from them and every time has been a pleasant experience. They were always willing to book a time slot for this even when their schedules were quite full. iii ) Flexible work hours: - The expectation is for you to attend the meetings and get the work done, not for you to be there from a fixed start time to a fixed end time. - Working from home is always an option, as long as your presence isn't required in the office (for example, for meetings, or if the sprint is particularly communication-heavy). iv ) Career development is encouraged: - Obtaining certifications and such are encouraged and costs are reimbursed. - Textbooks and other reference materials are reimbursed as well. v ) Last but not least, these guys care about employee experience: - We recently hired an employee experience person who's making lots happen, such as getting permission for after-work jam sessions for the musicians here. Lots more to come from what I hear!
