Pros

Pay is good. People are good but everybody ends up leaving, especially tenured people of the companies they buy. What used to be an amazing company culture just becomes another “yessir” robotic drone in the massive CoStar group of companies, once they acquire it. Probably only good for “Yes men” people who just want to do whatever management says or climb the corporate ladder. If you value work-life balance, a collaborative and inclusive workplace and genuine, transparent leadership, look elsewhere.

Cons

Micromanagement No flexibility Hypocritical - pushes employees for feedback through the engagement survey but doesn’t take into action the overwhelmingly negative feedback to improve things. Says work life balance is a company value but requires you to apply for a WFH day and supply a reason, if you have to have work approval to live your life, then this company “value” is obviously just PR and not actuality. Mandatory 5 days in office - very much archaic and legacy mindset for a supposed tech company that wants to “digitize real estate”. Obviously values visibility and physical presence rather than results, wellbeing or productivity.

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
