Pros

Interesting work and trusted to manage own time. I don't know how some people can accuse this job as being a call centre, they have clearly not worked in one! I have in my old job and i had a target to reduce the time between calls. It's nothing like that at costar The company is really progressive. It's gone through some growing pains but it seems to have a good plan and its working. In the time I've been at the company it hasn't stopped investing in its people and technology There's loads of opportunity if you work hard and want to get on. A few people from the office have gone on to work in the London office or even in America and there are always internal promotions happening Even though there's about 100 people in the office there's a really good team spirit and everyone gets on. I love the people here, well most of them anyway!

Cons

Although the work is interesting it can be repetitive. That's probably the worst thing about the job. The bonus was capped for a while but that doesn't seem to be the case now

Pros

Great benefits and efforts to create engaging social atmosphere but it needs to come from the top, not just from those employed to do damage control

Cons

I have tried looking past how stressful the work atmosphere can be with unrealistic goals that you get constantly confronted for obviously not being able to meet because of the people that do care enough to put a lot of effort into employee engagement and benefits. The office was on liberal leave the past 2 days during what was supposed to be a hurricane--most of the area was fine, but in a city like DC, employees commute from all over and surely some were actually affected. Most importantly, almost all employees use public transportation which was shut down. Instead of feeling sorry for most employees being forced to use vacation time and not be normally paid for 2 days, the CEO sent out a company-wide email "thanking" the employees who did make it in "despite drizzle and 12 mph winds". If he only had access to public transportation and made $40,000 I wonder what he would have done. I don't have any hard feelings and do like my job and what I have gotten out of my experience, but I hope he regrets the diction in his email and realizes that just because he doesn't depend on public transportation doesn't mean the employees that drive his company don't.
