Pros

Some coworkers that are good people to vent about incompetent management and how male managers treat female employees “differently”

Cons

Incompetent management. Managers that have little to no emotional intelligence and make very poor decisions when it comes to putting customer interests in the forefront. Not only do they not have soft skills when it comes to “managing” females/employees in general, but they also do not know industry best practices when it comes to software development. Truly appalled with this company and would never work for them again. Poor quality all around. The way this company treats employees especially females is criminal. I wish I could give zero stars to this company or even negative.

Pros

This company makes a strong first impression during the interview and training process. Unfortunately, my experience after onboarding was very different. Decision-making is highly centralized, leaving employees with very little autonomy. The company emphasizes ethics and integrity, but my experience did not consistently reflect those values. Favoritism also appeared to play a significant role in how employees were treated and how decisions were made. HR presents itself as a resource for employees, but concerns often end with, “It will be up to your manager.” That can be frustrating when the issue involves your manager or requires an impartial review. CoStar has developed a reputation for these issues, and from what I experienced, it wasn’t always this way. A few years ago, the company at least appeared to prioritize its employees. Today, that commitment feels diminished. The return-to-office expectations can also be unreasonable. During severe weather, employees are still expected to report to the office even when many other companies in the area allow employees to work remotely for safety. Finally, performance expectations and metrics are frequently changed, making goals increasingly difficult to achieve. Combined with inconsistent communication from leadership, it creates an environment where employees often feel unsupported and uncertain about expectations.

Cons

Good Health Benefits for families and singles Decent pay
