Pros

There are great people, and wonderful amenities, such as healthy food choices, a small gym and free yoga class three days a week, an amazing holiday party. All things considering the pay is good for what you are doing, I didn't realize that some of outr competitors pay far less considering the we are in the same buisness

Cons

The work sucks, its not that the job is terrible but it is repetitive and you will get people that don't want to talk you, Also the metrics don't take into account all of the work you do, like special projects. There may be project yet you are still expected to produce the same amount of work if you weren't doing the project. Also, there is this expectation for quick input of information, very unrealistic.

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
