Vantaggi
The company is growing rapidly and there is a lot of opportunity for someone who really wants it. No company is without its challenges, but I've found that as Research Manager who has overseen a wide scope of researchers, the ones that found it the most challenging and have vented on here are those that never worked in a metrics-based or sales environment before, and it can be culture shock. CoStar gives opportunities to a lot of people fresh out of college who have never worked in a professional work environment before and the high expectations that come of a fast-paced, dynamic environment such as this can be difficult to acclimate to. Once you get past all that, it's a fun environment with great leadership and someone who works hard and really wants to move up will excel here. I've just passed my 1-year mark and am looking forward to what's next.
Svantaggi
It can be difficult to engage and motivate employees who have this position as their first job. CoStar should seek more new hires who have at least 1-2 years of professional work experience under their belt. I think this would really help attrition.
