Pros

*Best company and department I've ever worked within *High caliber, bright young people *Flexibility, no micro-managing *The opportunity to build on multiple skills including excel, powerpoint, writing, and client-facing work *Wonderful leadership *Growing by leaps and bounds, acquiring other companies - a leader in the industry *Management asks for input and we are encouraged to improve on existing systems *Data is constantly getting better thanks to the hard work of those at the top *Getting to work with smart people every day *Entrepreneurial work environment *Best job I've ever had and terribly sad to leave before my first year was up. *I heard it was some of the best healthcare in the industry *401K matching

Cons

*I literally can't think of anything, within the analyst group. *Generally speaking, I'm not sure if the bonus structure is that motivating. Tallying points may be more cumbersome than it's worth. I was under the impression that the bonus would be larger than it turned out to be, when I was first hired. I think it was somewhat misrepresented. But the work was great and the base salary was a big bump from what I was making previously so I didn't complain. *no stock or profit-sharing until year 5, I think. I would have loved some CoStar stock.

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
