      It's better than no job at all

      Research associate i

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great entry-level job for young professionals just out of college who aren't sure what they want to do down the line but want a full-time work experience. Can gain great work experience and skills. Very young work environment with decent end-of-quarter bonus payouts. State-of-the-art office building with a great roof-top terrace. Good benefits (free food, public transportation stipend, very good medical/dental insurance plans) and even better work/life balance (plethora of after-work happy hours).

      Cons

      Work is extremely monotonous. Metric system used doesn't reflect the company's vision for "Building lasting relationships with clients"- a researcher's performance is solely measured on number of calls made and work production units added to database. General employee mentality: Will put up with working in research at CoStar until something better comes along. There's no motivation for personal growth while being in this position.

      A company with a lot of opportunity

      Research manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is growing rapidly and there is a lot of opportunity for someone who really wants it. No company is without its challenges, but I've found that as Research Manager who has overseen a wide scope of researchers, the ones that found it the most challenging and have vented on here are those that never worked in a metrics-based or sales environment before, and it can be culture shock. CoStar gives opportunities to a lot of people fresh out of college who have never worked in a professional work environment before and the high expectations that come of a fast-paced, dynamic environment such as this can be difficult to acclimate to. Once you get past all that, it's a fun environment with great leadership and someone who works hard and really wants to move up will excel here. I've just passed my 1-year mark and am looking forward to what's next.

      Cons

      It can be difficult to engage and motivate employees who have this position as their first job. CoStar should seek more new hires who have at least 1-2 years of professional work experience under their belt. I think this would really help attrition.
