I applied online. I interviewed at CoStar Group in Feb 2026
Interview
Super simple + quick interview process. Two rounds of interviews. The first is an online interview where they ask the basic questions e.g., introduce yourself, eligibility to work. The second is an in-person interview where again they ask the basic questions e.g., how do you deal with challenges at work, when is the last time you.... and how did you solve it. Job offer was almost immediately given around 1-2 hours after the interview, and then you just wait for around a month until employment starts. Documents don't get sent to you until around 1-2 weeks before employment though, so be prepared to sit in fear for a few weeks uncertain if you've actually made it. HR does respond to emails pretty quickly though, so reach out freely if you have any questions/ concerns.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time where you dealt with conflict.
Are you a flexible/agile person?
I found the process very smooth and well-organized. The communication from the team was excellent at every step, and the interview questions were highly relevant to the role. It gave me a great insight into the company culture.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CoStar Group (Richmond, VA)
Interview
Lack of communication and unreasonable. Made it to the third interview and they ghosted me until i had to reach out several times for them to tell me i didn’t get the role.
Talked about the role for 30 minutes on a teams meeting, and asked if I had any questions after. First "interview" really isn't an interview at all, it's more informational so I wonder what the criteria is to move forward, probably the questions you ask.
