Pros

- great office location and amazing facilities - good training - love the team and my former colleagues - interesting job where you get to talk with lots of people in the real estate industry - the product is incredible and shows the investment the company is making

Cons

- lots of changes without much notice (my job title changed two times during my time there) - sometimes feel collegial - job can become repetitive so one needs to be internally motivated and to want to succeed

Pros

Upon hire, new employees follow an intensive, thorough five-week training that covers some aspects of the role (the company, the various systems to use, commercial real estate, proper call etiquette, branding, etc.) - very detailed and sometimes intense too! Training doesn't stop after the class, there is ongoing training sessions that we need to take - the company is clearly committed to continuously train its employees. Huge focus on diversity since last year: the company even hired a Diversity officer to push some programmes and initiatives. Most managers are grown internally because they were successful in the researcher role: that shows that there is potential growth for employees, like me, who are hungry for growth.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind. I know some of my colleagues feel like they are micromanaged but I never felt it. My manager is always taking the time to help and direct me and find ways to meet expectations and provide the most value to the clients.

CoStar Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad you were able to enjoy a competitive salary, which we are proud to regularly offer our employees. In response to your comments about development and mobility, our leadership is committed to providing exposure and access to internal mobility opportunities within CoStar Group. In fact, internal mobility and increasing exposure to opportunities available to employees are areas that we have had tremendous success with. In addition to highlighting these opportunities in our internal newsletter to all employees, we’ve also recently launched a skills and training program specific to our Marketing Research employees to help them develop into future leaders at the company. We’ve made significant investments recently in training, mentoring, and diversity, equity & inclusion programs for employees and rolled out a more targeted manager training program this year, which is helping to strengthen the skills of our people managers. These programs and skills training opportunities are helping us identify and cultivate the next generation of talent at the company, and in 2020, we're proud to say that 24% of our hires were from internal candidates. We understand you have since left the company, but if you have any further details to share, please email us at HRdepartment@costar.com. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
