Pros

On the face, CoStar is a publicly reputable company that does what keeps stock prices going up, and contains any public scandals swiftly and tactfully. On the inside, top chiefs are willing to do what it takes to win. Even that means bending laws and rules to further bend down their competition. The goal is hitting them quarterly numbers, and a clear line of sight onto market domination

Pros

None. The pay and benefits are above average, but for a reason. To attempt to trap people there to do this meaningless, growthless job.

Cons

Everything. This toxic company refers to its so-called most valuable "Market Research" department as the backbone of the organization. But the reality paints a far darker, much more grim picture. The job/department itself is not "market research" - you sit down for 8 hours a day and pester individuals for the sole sake of meeting nonsensical metrics. The management does what they're told by the higher-ups. They don't actually manage anything. They also sit down all day listening to and grading calls based on a preposterous script to make the "researchers" sound like robots and not actual human beings. It's a culture of fear and terror, every aspect of the job is micromanaged and monitored endlessly, and there is zero autonomy. Feedback, suggestions, and recommendations to improve processes are NEVER given any consideration. Never. There are no opportunities for growth/promotions anymore (not that there really ever were to begin with). No actual career or development skills are gained from this position. And you'll leave every day dreading returning to it day-in and day-out without any personal or professional fulfillment.
