Pros

You meet alot of great people from different backgrounds. You have some good managers that care. Bonus was pretty good. Coffee and Free snacks.

Cons

Very high turn over, micro management, very hard to gather information when you have others around you talking loud including the managers. If you dont like change this is not the place for you. Don't get your hopes up when they want to share good news. Nine times out of ten its not benefiting you.

Thanks for your time with us and the review. Better communication is one of our highest priorities. We’re focused on listening and recently fielded a comprehensive survey of the workforce which managers will take action on.

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
