CoStar Group reviews

I was never treated like a professional (or even a coworker) by my manager. The department was around 50/50 male female ratio, and yet only 1 in 20 or so managers was a women. Top tier management makes decisions that do not work in practice and all middle and lower managers can say is "it's out of my hands". I was discouraged from offering ideas about increasing productivity. Everyone feels like they can get fired at any moment for little or no reason (warranted: they fire lots of people daily), but it makes people unwilling to make decisions. Managers will tell you to do one thing on the phone, and then write the opposite in an email to cover their butt by having something it writing. HR will not email you back for the same reason, don't want anything in writing. They whole company leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

1. Any company that allows the number of reviews citing the same problems to go on and on for years, and the high turnover associated with them, without changing its fundamental business practices is run by idiots. 2. Any company, especially one focused on accurate data, which trots out fake reviews as a solution to this problem instead is a giant hypocrite. And also run by idiots (see #1) 3. You will feel like you're under surveillance all the time. Seriously, part of me suspects CoStar is tracking these keystrokes right now. 4. There is a completely pointless culture of formality. I'm pretty sure people have been fired for not wearing a tie while enjoying the free Kool Aid and posting their fake reviews. 5. Everyone says the products are good, and I agree they are impressive. But they would be twice as good if you stopped burning out employees and sending them running to your competitors.
