Pros

As you have probably read already, the benefits as an employee are great! Great medical plans, free salads and snacks and I loved the culture. Costar offers so much to it's employees and you may not appreciate until you don't have it anymore. I enjoyed the fast-paced environment and enjoyed working with the people on my team.

Cons

As with most places, constantly shifting priorities make it at times hard to get major projects completed.There is little job security and if you don't have a good manager the vision for your future with the company is hard to envision. I personally think that's why people leave so often. There is also no work from home option or flexibility.

Pros

This company makes a strong first impression during the interview and training process. Unfortunately, my experience after onboarding was very different. Decision-making is highly centralized, leaving employees with very little autonomy. The company emphasizes ethics and integrity, but my experience did not consistently reflect those values. Favoritism also appeared to play a significant role in how employees were treated and how decisions were made. HR presents itself as a resource for employees, but concerns often end with, “It will be up to your manager.” That can be frustrating when the issue involves your manager or requires an impartial review. CoStar has developed a reputation for these issues, and from what I experienced, it wasn’t always this way. A few years ago, the company at least appeared to prioritize its employees. Today, that commitment feels diminished. The return-to-office expectations can also be unreasonable. During severe weather, employees are still expected to report to the office even when many other companies in the area allow employees to work remotely for safety. Finally, performance expectations and metrics are frequently changed, making goals increasingly difficult to achieve. Combined with inconsistent communication from leadership, it creates an environment where employees often feel unsupported and uncertain about expectations.

Cons

Good Health Benefits for families and singles Decent pay
