Pros

Everyone I interacted with was positive, constructive, and professional. Upper management was very interactive and made a point to get to know people in their team. For only being on a 3 month contract I felt close, accepted, and appreciated by not only my team manager/team, but supportive staff and upper management. If anyone is looking for a company to grow with in that has a good moral compass they should give Costar a try! They aim to help any/everyone that's willing to accept criticism and stays positive.

Cons

With that being said. It's very repetitive work - some excel, some do not... if you can buckle down and deal with the repetitive day in day out stuff the rewards in advancement are worth it. Also the company is still trying to tweak a few small things in a structural aspect, but as many should know change takes time and trial/error. But I'd say it had improved a lot in the short time I was there.

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
