Pros

some teams will have happy hours and you get leave the office right at 5pm

Cons

- they own the building and make you pay for parking - no growth, promotions promised and not followed up on. - micromanagement: they track your location via your computer, audit your email/teams messaging, track when you use the restroom and for how long, - data is fake, quotas are enforced so hard people make things up to keep their jobs - they pay a ton of money to get awards like "great employer" from random lists - general lying and sweep it under the rug attitude. All the above is just the tip of the iceberg. The company will say it's not true and this was just a crazy unhappy ex-employee. However, there was an community of 1k+ who got together and shared their own horror stories not only to feel less alone, but also to show that places like Glassdoor didn't show the full picture. When CoStar found out, they sued the organizer for defamation and made sure nothing could be found.

Pros

Amazing development culture. We were always encouraged to Learn and for my experience, my colleagues were very helpful and encouraging during that process. The technologies and resources are limitless as the company is obviously very successful. Benefits and time off were great as well.

Cons

Upper Leadership got very aggressive and weird during covid. Working from home was clearly a viable option, and for them to mandate vaccines and not allow WFH options showed me how unimportant their employees are to them. Had it not been for the covid weirdness this easily could have been a 5star company in which i would have gladly spend my whole career.

Pros

Great benefits, quality data that assists clients

Cons

You must brand a certain amount of times on the phone, making it very telemarket-ish. If your call does not last 90 seconds then it does not apply to your metrics and you are asked to call your client again, even if the conversation was constructive. Heavy emphasis is placed on the 90 second duration phone call. Do you want to sacrifice your rapport with a client that you are required to speak to monthly or risk being further micromanaged because you didn’t hit the company’s metrics? Lastly, management has instructed employees to give 5 star ratings on GlassDoor because their rating was low. That should tell you all you need to know about this company.
