      Go there only if you must! Otherwise find a place with a better culture.

      Pros

      Costar is nice place to work if you can stay out of the politics and can keep your head down and work. Do your job and go home. There are some great people there. Career progression is not clear. Much depends on your ability to BS with leadership.

      Cons

      Decision making is often based on the CEO's whim. There's always a fire to put out and a sense of urgency so nobody can ever really plan and focus on the long term. Employees are treated as commodities. Some managers spy on their employees. Calls are recorded. Access to and from the office is monitored.

      Monopoly within the industry but not much of a SF based company...

      Pros

      Decent amount of opportunities for those that are willing to relocate and commit 100% to the company. There is a variety of job offerings and career location options from Washington, DC to San Francisco, CA. Deep pocketed company that will provide equipment and travel expenses and company credit card. There is structure and stability.

      Cons

      Not much of a Silicon Valley company. Values are the polar opposites, blue chip vs. start-up. The culture is motivated by fear and hope. Management is slow to react unless its from Andy Florence (CEO). 100 sided interest are at stake when new projects are underway, from mid-level mgmt, upper mgmt, lower level sales people to sr. level sales...too many heads are butting and everyone thinks they're right. Not much synergy within the organization. Too much politics and ass kissing.
