      Pros

      Snacks are good. Building is modern

      Cons

      Constant changing rules to suit management at the time, fire on a whim, no job security. Only thake a job if you are desperate. Leave as soon as you can.

      There are many people that would beg to differ with you about CoStar Group as a place to work. Research offers a very fair work/life balance that offers a great, outgoing atmosphere with friendly colleagues and an introduction into the commercial real estate world that gets you closer to major brokers and investors in under a year than you could possibly imagine. And with company acquisitions of Apartments.com, CoStar Group is not only leading the pack with technology use in the real estate world, but we’re paving the way and seeing fantastic results. We do not take termination of employment lightly, and work closely with employees when they appear to be struggling or have in any way violated company policy. We hire our employees to see them succeed, and only terminate employment when other efforts have proven ineffective. CoStar Group is highly sought after as a place to start a career in commercial real estate, and we love working with those who are excited to be here.

      Pros

      The company always has a vision and executes it with Grandeur! CEO's visions are typically spot on and brings in big dollars with a very seasoned management team.

      Cons

      You work a bit more than the average tech company - but, it's worth the salary

      It’s great to hear you’re enjoying your time at CoStar Group! As the company continues to grow and expand its reach in the commercial real estate information industry, we constantly work to provide opportunities for our employees to develop in their careers and gain the experience they’re looking for. You’re right that our employees work very hard, as it’s a competitive industry spanning both technology and the real estate world, but we strive to compensate our employees fairly for the great work they do. We couldn’t be the success we are without your hard work, and we hope our employees know our appreciation.

      Pros

      - Fringe benefits (especially transit subsidy) - Young people in the office

      Cons

      - If you have a college degree, and any other office experience, you are too qualified for the Research Associate position - This is the "safety school" of entry level jobs; no one's first choice was CoStar - There is no critical thinking involved in the job - You enter data and never work towards anything - Every single day is exactly the same - Can be disheartening calling people all day long who really don't want to talk to you - Micromanaged from a company perspective, but not individual manager; i.e. punching in/out, mandatory 30 min break in day, recording your calls - Don't kid yourself, you're working in a call center

      Based on your advice to management, it seems that you took a position you knew would not be a good fit for you in the first place. I’m sorry that you feel you haven’t been able to develop in your role, but we offer a number of opportunities for promotion, as well as transitions to roles that focus on specific aspects of the industry. Our researchers develop relationships with their contacts in the commercial real estate industry, and with new development opportunities within the company they are able to use the expertise they gain to influence the success of the real estate market. We appreciate any feedback we receive, but I encourage you to look at your role and see what aspects you can focus on to develop new skills and expertise. Any job is what you make it.
