Pros
I've worked at LoopNet a long time and have appreciated the opportunities to move up and grow in my career. Here are the best parts of working at LoopNet: - Designing, creating and building new technology that is improving the professional lives of our customers (commercial real brokers, agents, investors, developers, etc) and helping to re-shape and modernize an industry - The CEO of CoStar (parent company to LoopNet) and President of LoopNet have both founded and built their own companies from the group up and are entrepreneurs at heart - Strong vision and financial management from the c-suite has more than doubled the market cap in the last 12 months - Management actively seeks input from employee and responds to feedback - Opportunities to find and work on projects that excite you - HR and the leadership team care about the employees and help put people on the right career track - Coworkers that are supportive and who appreciate/respect the work/life balance at LoopNet - The benefit package and office perks are great (partially paid for my master’s degree, plenty of PTO, subsidizes public transit, provides a locked room for bike storage, pays 80% of the gym membership, free snacks in the office, regular happy hours, Giants games, etc) - The company was supportive and respectful when my children were born, enabling me to spend more time supporting my wife and kids - Great location in the heart of SOMA
Cons
I don't have any major cons about LoopNet. Sure, as the company has grown from a start-up to a 2,000 person company, there are more protocols and work rules, but that is no different than any other mid/large size company.
