Thank you for your feedback. Our goal is for all employees to feel engaged and energized in their role, while continuing to grow their skills, learn new things and be challenged. Over the past two years, the company has made significant investments in training at all levels of the organization. We've rolled out more advanced product training, conducted multiple sales strategy and messaging sessions and partnered with LinkedIn Learning to provide a robust library of courses available to employees spanning numerous different topics. We have also rolled out a more targeted manager training program recently, which is helping to strengthen the skills of our people managers and allows for better communication and collaboration between managers and employees. These programs and opportunities are designed for employees looking to grow personally and professionally within the organization, while also delivering the product or function-specific knowledge needed to succeed at CoStar Group. We will continue to listen to feedback in order to grow our training programs and ensure we are able to meet and exceed the training needs of our employees. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Cons

everything besides the money!!! it is not worth the stress and anxiety they put you through. They think youre replaceable and always threaten your job - even when you exceed your goal

Pros

Insurance was good, facilities were very nice.

Cons

Eliminated bonuses, long hours with no real breaks, short lunches, unrealistic metrics, lying to people on the phone endlessly, repetitive, everyone was declining both physically and mentally since working there. Then they laid the entire department off out of nowhere after just hiring a bunch of people.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your experience working at CoStar Group. We'd like to share the business decisions behind some of the recent organizational shifts in the research department. With the success of our Apartments.com business, our methods for capturing data in the multifamily space – whether through electronic feeds, direct user entry, or other methods – have simply evolved. As a result, we conducted an organizational realignment to ensure job functions match with our methods for collecting information and are more in-line with the future direction of the business. As the leader in the multifamily space, Apartments.com continues to extend our footprint and will expand our focus by increasing the sales force. We have hired 100 new outbound multifamily sales consultants based in Richmond. Unfortunately, because of this shift of focus, the Community Research role based in Atlanta, GA was eliminated. This decision was purely business-related in an effort to align our research and sales resources to current data collection methods. It was not at all related to employee or company financial performance. Decisions like these that affect the daily lives of our employees are nevre made lightly. We value our employees and the work they do in making CoStar Group the leading provider of commercial real estate information, analytics, and online marketplaces. Impacted employees were offered the appropriate resources to help them through this transition. These employees also have the opportunity to apply for one of the new outbound multifamily sales positions, or any other open position within the company where their skills align to the job requirements. If you have questions about what resources may be available to you, please reach out to HRDepartment@CoStar.com.
