Thanks for the feedback, and it’s great to hear you enjoy what we’re offering within CoStar Group. We love seeing our employees flourish at CoStar Group, and we’re finding that happens when we open up the lines of communication and encourage more collaboration between departments and business units, we’re not only able to offer more to our clients, but our employees have more opportunity to grow and develop in their career here. The best is yet to come for CoStar Group, and we’re glad to have you with us!

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear you did not have a positive experience at CoStar Group. We value everyone who works here, and they should feel valued at the same time. But it sounds like you missed out on some of the great opportunities CoStar Group has to offer. The Research department has a multitude of growth opportunities constantly being offered to employees – more managers are promoted from within than hired externally, and as an expanding company many researchers have taken advantage of the opportunity to move to a new city or focus on an expanding market constantly being offered. We also welcome internal applicants to our open roles in other departments, which gives employees the chance to take their next career step with the company, even if it’s not in Research. But as with every job, Research isn’t for everyone, and we wish you the best of luck in the future.

Pros

The people, process and technology are top notch. Issues are handled in a well define and understandable manner. The management knows where it wants to go and how it is going to get there. The benefits are very good and the compensation is above average.

Cons

The company is very aggressive about how they want to get from point A to point B. This aggressive behavior has a downside in alienating people that work in lower tiered positions.
