Pros

Benefits and the opportunity to work at home during the pandemic

Cons

A company ran by narcissists. Cult like culture where the only thing that matters is the work. You don't exist if you don't work at the corporate office in DC. Totally inconsistent, full of knee jerk reactions. You can't have a real estate license but half of the employees have licenses. You need a bachelors degree to get hired but will hire referrals without degrees. You will get burned out and laid off once they figure out a way to eliminate your position. Your stress level would depend on the division you work for. No room for advancement. Average length of time to work here is 3-5 years, 1-2 if you work in technology or lower level positions. Micromanaging toxic work environment. Get to hear how the CEO gets richer every quarter! HR is a joke!

CoStar Group Response
5y
We wanted to confirm that we have received this feedback and value both current and former employees sharing their opinions with us. We're always happy to hear when employees note our generous benefit offerings as a positive for working at CoStar Group. The rest of your review contains some opinions that are not factually correct or rooted in reality. As an obvious example, we care about and support all of our employees, not just those based out of one particular office. In fact, the DC office makes up less than 13 percent of our entire global employee population. To infer that the contributions of only 13 percent of our employees matter to the company, and that 87 percent of our employees don't exist, completely delegitimizes the tremendous contributions and impact all of our employees make at CoStar Group. Additionally, to say that there is no room for advancement is not only inaccurate, it takes away from the accomplishments of those employees who have advanced in the company. In 2020 alone, nearly a quarter (24 percent) of our total hires were from internal candidates. While we understand the desire for people to take to websites like these to air their grievances and make generalizations, please consider how these comments may take away from the incredible achievements of the people that make up CoStar Group. We wish you the best in achieving your future career goals.

Pros

I worked for Homes.com - Great first job out of college to learn a lot about sales and can make good money in the first 3 months - FIND PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THIS JOB AND HAVE LEFT AND FIGURE OUT WHY CUZ THEY'LL TELL YOU

Cons

I worked for Homes.com - You're doing 3 jobs in one and the pay does not reflect that - it is churn and burn. The average tenure here is 7 months - Management doesn't know what's going on 3/4 of the time. It is all up to the CEO and he's on his private jet more than 3/4 of the time
