      Pros

      Some coworkers that are good people to vent about incompetent management and how male managers treat female employees “differently”

      Cons

      Incompetent management. Managers that have little to no emotional intelligence and make very poor decisions when it comes to putting customer interests in the forefront. Not only do they not have soft skills when it comes to “managing” females/employees in general, but they also do not know industry best practices when it comes to software development. Truly appalled with this company and would never work for them again. Poor quality all around. The way this company treats employees especially females is criminal. I wish I could give zero stars to this company or even negative.

      Pros

      Solid pay at a very respectable real estate company. The company continues to grow and grow. Can't see the company going down (stock continues to rise) until maybe 3 years when people realize how expensive this site is and they gain a legitimate competitor.

      Cons

      Learn very minimal, your work means literally nothing, culture of the company is horrendous. Honestly, the only purpose to work in this company is to gain a year of office experience right out of college. Then I highly recommend leaving. The type of job you do and get stuck at but deserve to work at much better. Like I said the company is growing but the only departments I recommend are a Market analyst/ sales and notttttt loop net sales unless you want to do cold calling for 200+ calls a day.

      Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like the role you were in wasn't a great fit for your career goals. You are correct that we continue to grow, opening up opportunities for associates across the company to explore other positions for career development. I wish you all the best in finding a role that is a better fit for you and your career goals.

      Pros

      Free coffee was pretty good and a nice break from my desk. The coworkers complained together and was often times cathartic.

      Cons

      While the aim is promising and seems extremely effective and useful on paper, the execution is ridiculous and borderline unethical. On the outside there is only one way to explain what I used to do for this company and it sounds worse and worse the more I tell people of my time at CoStar. Look at the numbers ... there is a very good reason the turnover rate is north of 50% and don’t believe the positive reviews that the company “asks” employees to leave. Those are typed out with a CoStar gun pointed to your head.

      Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. I respectfully disagree with your suggestion that employees are forced to give reviews. We do encourage honest feedback, but providing reviews is, and always will be, voluntary.
