Business Outlook
Pros
Costar is nice place to work if you can stay out of the politics and can keep your head down and work. Do your job and go home. There are some great people there. Career progression is not clear. Much depends on your ability to BS with leadership.
Cons
Decision making is often based on the CEO's whim. There's always a fire to put out and a sense of urgency so nobody can ever really plan and focus on the long term. Employees are treated as commodities. Some managers spy on their employees. Calls are recorded. Access to and from the office is monitored.
