CoStar Group Response

Thanks for the nice review. We're happy to read that you are engaged and enjoying the benefits and opportunities that come with a career at CoStar Group. Regarding your comments about working from home, our CEO has shared his belief that companies with teams that are able to work together face to face will always outcompete remote, disbursed teams, which is why we place so much value on being at the office. Additionally, since we support the commercial real estate industry, we felt an obligation and responsibility to our customers to lead by example and show how employees can safely and effectively return to the office workplace. Our company was built on innovation and proactively offering industry-leading products and solutions to our customers. This creativity is driven from in-person and organic interactions and brainstorming that naturally occurs in the office. It's also important to note the difference between "work from home" and "flexibility". Managers at the company will always make an effort to be flexible with employees when a need arises, within reason. Thank you for your contributions on behalf of CoStar Group; we greatly appreciate all you do.

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
