Pros

Above-market pay. Lots of perks.

Cons

Before joining CoStar, I only knew of them as a data company but was unaware of their negative reputation. The company is highly metrics-driven, focusing on quantity over quality. Many long-term employees seemed unhappy but stayed due to the high pay, often gaming the system to meet targets with minimal effort. The management culture is toxic, with frequent berating instead of constructive feedback. CoStar made headlines for its poor work environment; from my experience, it's all true—if not worse. If you value your mental and physical health, I advise you to stay away.

Pros

If you are looking to get into sales this could be a fine place to get foot in the door but few can survive the culture. Good opportunities for big commissions but leadership gets in the way of this being a great company to work for.

Cons

Micromanagement, low salary, insanely complicated comp plans

Pros

Solid pay, aggressive CEO focused on business growth

Cons

Commission payout is always incorrect, little HR presence, understaffed finance/support leading to slow problem resolution. Micromanaged teams, inflexible work schedules, C-suite blanket policies that are revenue focused and not employee-centric
