Pros

Beautiful building, recently the benefits/environment have improved greatly, people were great to work with and looking back I had a great experience.

Cons

Making countless phone calls every day can be a drag. While I enjoyed many things, learning the software top to bottom (helpful in the CRE world), work was tough at times.

Thanks for the feedback. While there will always have to be some form of measurement to evaluate the work researchers do on a daily basis, any change comes from efforts to evolve the system for researchers to both understand and feel more comfortable with what is expected of them. For example, in the last couple of years the focus has turned away from quantity and now looks more to qualitative measurements, such as the relationships and connections researchers are able to make with clients. There is a level of fluidity between markets and teams, but changes often come about from a researcher’s request to focus on a new market – emails sent out to the department notify them of openings on teams, allowing individuals to inquire about those openings. At CoStar Group we invite curiosity in our employees to try something new, and encourage them to not only seek out new positions within the department on another team, but also to apply internally for positions open in other departments and office locations when they feel the new role aligns with their career plans.
