Pros

The pay is well for a reason. I loved my direct coworkers. Free snacks.

Cons

The culture here makes for a very poor quality of life. I worked 5-10 hours extra (unpaid) a week just to keep up with the growing list of demands that upper management makes. The very top of this company likes to create a culture where employees are scared and anxious about their job security as they hire a plethora of staff for tax breaks and then lets them go shortly after. You are just a number at this company. They will make life insufferable to make sure a certain percentage of employees quit every year to save money when it comes time to do layoffs. Additionally, you will work super hard and rarely ever see a promotion.

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
