      Not Worth It

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great location, great place to meet people if you are new to D.C.

      Cons

      The work is not rewarding at all, its a call center no matter what they say. Past the initial phase of learning how CoStar operates and how you collect data you wont learn anything else about commercial real estate. Upper management has consistently failed to deliver on promises of additional learning opportunities. They promised classes and tutorials in SQL, excel, financial analysis in commercial real estate and not a single one was realized. The work is very basic. If you absolutely need a place to work while you get situated in D.C. then CoStar is the place for you. If you do find yourself employed here, I would not recommend working here for more than one quarter, there are much better entry level opportunities D.C.

      Thanks for your hard work and time with us. Every potential member of the research time has the opportunity to shadow a current researcher and spend time with them before they accept a role with us. We’re committed to transparency about all aspects of research. We offer extensive training for our research team, including several weeks of training immediately following their start date and ongoing training.

      Not a bad introduction to property

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Well Paid, generally good office atmosphere, far more interesting than most roles at this level, generally inclusive office culture.

      Cons

      The management roles are geared mostly around crunching numbers. This falls down upon the researchers who then end up doing unnecessary tasks in order to hit targets. This doesn't help the end users.
