Pros

Great product, great clients, and great front-line managers.

Cons

Worst senior management team I have ever seen, fear-based management from executive team, very reactive, compensation package changed mid-stream to the detriment of employees, CEO takes micro-managing to a new level. What does it say about a company when a large chunk of marketing dollars goes into slandering the competition and mailing clients about the latest company lawsuits and competitors and former clients?

Pros

CoStar offers a lot of opportunity to learn about the CRE Industry. Like any job, you get out of it what you put into it. The incentive program can be phenominal for individuals who have the right work ethic and really take ownership of their success with folks earning in the thousands per quarter in bonus. There is never a 'boring' day and the company continues to be in a growth pattern that allows opporutnities continually for growth and evolution of processes.

Cons

The growth can overwhelm some individuals, there is a lot of change involved as a result. It is also very fast-paced at times requiring individuals who can sucessfully manage their time while multi-tasking. It is essential to be happy and successful with CoStar that you are flexible, receptive to change, and able to learn and adapt quickly.
