Pros

Young, fun, people. Great office space. Nice camaraderie.

Cons

It's all about numbers and metrics. If you're a research associate for an area that isn't hopping, it's difficult to reach metrics. They encourage you to use weasley ways to find out information about brokered deals. Little appreciation for long hours worked.

We appreciate the feedback, and take information like this into account when we look at how we can evolve and improve the workplace for our employees – and we have actually made changes that are already in place that address your concerns. As the reach of CoStar Group’s Research department has grown and become more in-depth, we’ve also evolved the way we evaluate the success of our researchers. Expectations vary market to market and researcher to researcher, and there are no all-encompassing “metrics” each team or researcher is expected to make. Unless a researcher has agreed to take on additional responsibilities for a special project for which they are paid overtime, all of our researchers work 40-hour weeks with no work completed after hours or on the weekends. We appreciate our researchers for their hard work during those 40 hours, and encourage a healthy work/life balance by leaving work at the office.

Thanks for the feedback, and we love hearing you're enjoying your work at CoStar Group. For manager positions we have in many cases turned to internal promotion over external hires for more than a year – we’ve found the experience working in the role is extremely valuable to be able to lead a team, and we have begun programs to train experienced employees for the transition to a manager role. We love helping our employees to move forward in their careers with CoStar Group, and are working to continue to provide more resources for them to do just that.
