Vantaggi

As everyone has mentioned, the benefits. But unless you will literally die without health insurance it is not worth the job. I recommend using your benefits as much as possible while you're still here.

Svantaggi

Every "nice" thing this company does for it's employees is done purely for PR reasons. The 'healthy snacks' in the fridge, the benefits that put them in the 90th percentile, the millions they spent on improving the ventilation in most of their offices, the supposed Tesla giveaway that they used to 'lure employees back to the office' that nobody seems to have won. Everything. I work for Homes.com, which was acquired by CoStar back in May of this year. We had been WFH quite successfully since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. So successfully, in fact, that we officially went fully remote. In our specific case, we have been sent to a temporary office space where they stuff ENTIRE TEAMS into cramped conference rooms (with bad internet) and the bathrooms don't always have soap. We were given ONE DAYS NOTICE that we had to come. We also talk on the phone throughout our entire shift, which makes wearing a mask nearly impossible. If they really cared about our health, they wouldn't FORCE us into an office while the Delta variant and breakthrough covid cases are on the rise. In our specific case, we have been sent to a temporary office space where they stuff entire teams into cramped conference rooms and the bathrooms don't always have soap. They'll publicly say they haven't forced anyone to come in, yet they won't mention that they've fired everyone that couldn't make it back to the office It's a large, soulless, dinosaur of a corporation with micromanagement DEEPLY rooted in the culture. They fight working from home the way Kodak fought the digital camera.

We are disappointed and disheartened to read this review. We very much value feedback as a company, and as a current employee you should know there are internal channels to provide feedback and engage our HR department with any questions, concerns or complaints without fear of retaliation. When that is done, they are addressed appropriately and in a timely fashion. It is difficult for us to do much with anonymous reviews that resort to name-calling and are factually inaccurate. It is unfortunate that you believe all our employee perks are done solely for positive PR; that couldn't be farther from the truth. We believe in taking care of our employees; healthy snacks, a robust benefits package and office safety measures are just some of the ways we promote employee wellness and health. And we will always operate with our employees' safety as a top priority. We understand it may be difficult to transition from a company culture with which you were accustomed to one that may be somewhat different, but that's no excuse to characterize the company you work for and it's more than 4,900 employees as soulless. Historically, CoStar Group has always been an in-office company. We successfully moved to a remote work operation at the very start of the pandemic, but with the success of the vaccines, we have been able to safely reopen our offices. As a company that supports commercial real estate, we felt an obligation and responsibility to our clients to lead by example and show how employees can safely and effectively return to the office workplace. It is also inaccurate that any of our employees were given just one day's notice to return to the office. These plans had been communicated for several weeks. While the temporary office space (which was always communicated would be temporary) is not ideal, plans are being made to address this and will hopefully be communicated soon. If there is more you would like to share with our HR team, please email HRdepartment@costar.com and someone on that team will be happy to assist you. Thank you.

Svantaggi

Working at CoStar Group was one of the most emotionally exhausting sales environments I’ve experienced. The culture on my team was extremely male-dominated, hyper-competitive, and very much “sink or swim.” Collaboration was talked about constantly by management, but in reality the environment rewarded internal competition, territorial behavior, favoritism, and politics over actual teamwork. As one of the few women on the sales team, I often felt isolated and unsupported. Instead of mentorship or coaching, the expectation was basically: “figure it out yourself.” New hires were thrown into difficult situations with inconsistent training and unrealistic expectations, while certain reps appeared to receive stronger books of business, better territories, or more support than others. It created resentment and a toxic atmosphere where coworkers often felt more like competitors waiting for you to fail than teammates. The turnover was incredibly high, which should have been a red flag. Management pushed aggressive quotas and nonstop pressure while failing to address morale, burnout, or fairness concerns. There was also an unhealthy obsession with leaderboard culture and internal politics that made the workplace feel stressful every single day. What disappointed me most was that I genuinely believed in the product and enjoyed helping clients. Many customers loved working with me, and I built strong relationships. But internally, the environment became mentally draining. The constant competitiveness, lack of support, and toxic culture eventually outweighed the positives of the role.
