CoStar Group reviews

They hate you. Your bosses hate you and will work you like a dog. You will have to use your days of PTO just to stay above water to meet your weekly goals. And you will STILL have to work on those days off to meet the demands. Metrics are used to measure work productivity. System is extremely flawed. Metrics seem to be based on the smallest, fastest completion of an assignment and apply that standard to EVERYTHING which is unrealistic and inaccurate. Assignments are deliberately given low points, requiring you to do double the amount of work a normal job would require to meet your weekly minimum goals. If this were occasional, it would be tolerable but it is the way of life at CoStar to overwork their employees. You could work 80 hours a week, driving hundreds of miles to assignments, fixing and dropping off the company car at the shop, (with no credit for your time spent) and your assignments could cause you to work well over 50 hours , most likely into 60 hours and weekends. No overtime pay. You will be under constant surveillance in your car and on your phone. Management will read your messages and emails, and watch you in your car as you drive. There’s a camera watching your every move. You are unemployee but they will treat you like a contractor. You could drive 1.5 hours to an assignment- let’s say they cancel the job. You then drive 1.5 hours back home to try to find something else to do- you get no credit for the 3-4 hours lost trying to do your job and at no fault of your own it didn’t pan out- they want you to “pivot” and spend another 10 hours trying to “find work” and turn something in. It’s hell. There isn’t room enough here to go into all the insane things they do. Just pass - the pay is good because the turnover rate and their reputation is so bad, it HAS to be high to recruit people.

Everything else. Worst company known to man, they operate on a culture of fear. Within 1 month they fired 10+ people on my team including a manager with zero notice or reasoning. Unrealistic goals and extrutiatingly metric driven to the point where that is ALL they care about. Leaders have absolutely no control or power, if they haven’t drank the kool aid then they will be fired. Everyone is scared to lose their job because of the CEO, if he does not like you, you’re gone.
