Pros

THE PERKS: Welcoming building environment, architecture and interior design is superb. Rooftop seating for lunch and afternoon breaks. Big lounge with stocked refrigerators with enough food to cover your breakfast and lunch, if you like to eat healthy. The gym is small, but has everything you need for a great workout. Baseball games. Community Service outings. COWORKERS: For the most part everyone is professional and respectful. There are of course as in any society some people who ruin what should be a wonderful, fun and innovative working experience.

Cons

The company needs to spend money on upgrading the infrastructure. Hardware is dated. Handing out responsibility "hats" to people who have no business doing certain jobs.

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
