Best software developer job I've ever had!

Pros

I was referred by a recruiter for a position at CoStar Group, and I'm glad I pursued this opportunity! After a thorough interview process with managers and developers I was hired. CoStar provided training in both commercial real estate and in the front-end technologies they use (React, Redux, NodeJS, etc.) and within a few weeks I was already making an impact on some high-profile applications. There are many opportunities to learn new technologies or to keep up with changes in your current toolset. Managers actually encourage your personal growth here and don't micro-manage. Developers are top-notch and readily mentor more junior developers. CoStar provides a great culture and work-life balance, providing good coffee & healthy snacks (and a chef on staff!) as well as giving employees passes to Friday Cheers & the Richmond Folk Festival. The compensation and benefits are also outstanding. Over the course of my career I have worked for over a dozen Richmond-area employers, and I can honestly say that being a developer at CoStar Group is the best job I've ever had!

Cons

Commuting downtown from the West End is not fun, but at least there is a parking garage here.

CoStar Group Response

Thank you for your review and for sharing your experiences. We are really proud of our IT teammates and we are thrilled that you are taking full advantage of the developmental opportunities here!
