Pros

I was hired as an associate market researcher and pay was good.

Cons

Micromanaging Ridiculous audits Toxic environment…… Literally just a call centre but make their name as market researcher what a scam…

Pros

Pay is good. People are good but everybody ends up leaving, especially tenured people of the companies they buy. What used to be an amazing company culture just becomes another “yessir” robotic drone in the massive CoStar group of companies, once they acquire it. Probably only good for “Yes men” people who just want to do whatever management says or climb the corporate ladder. If you value work-life balance, a collaborative and inclusive workplace and genuine, transparent leadership, look elsewhere.

Cons

Micromanagement No flexibility Hypocritical - pushes employees for feedback through the engagement survey but doesn’t take into action the overwhelmingly negative feedback to improve things. Says work life balance is a company value but requires you to apply for a WFH day and supply a reason, if you have to have work approval to live your life, then this company “value” is obviously just PR and not actuality. Mandatory 5 days in office - very much archaic and legacy mindset for a supposed tech company that wants to “digitize real estate”. Obviously values visibility and physical presence rather than results, wellbeing or productivity.
