Most Research Associates are in their 20s and become friends
Svantaggi
Typical corporate America bureaucracies
"Don't talk to me, talk to your manager"

We appreciate the feedback. It’s true that our Research department is largely made up of individuals recently out of college, particularly in the DC office, and that often means they will want to broaden their horizons after a couple of years learning the business. We love being able to give people that start in the real estate industry, but we have also developed longer-term career paths that give researchers the opportunity to work toward specialized roles or management. As a result, we’re seeing our researchers take advantage of the career opportunities within CoStar, and we've seen the average tenure increase.
Quality has been another major focus over the last couple of years – accuracy and the relationships researchers are able to develop with clients are the primary focus. While quantity does also have to be looked at in measuring the work being done, it does not receive the consideration it once did. As a rapidly growing company, we are always evolving the way we assess the success of our employees, and changes become clearer with more time for them to become the norm department-wide as well as companywide.
I worked for Homes.com
- Great first job out of college to learn a lot about sales and can make good money in the first 3 months
- FIND PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THIS JOB AND HAVE LEFT AND FIGURE OUT WHY CUZ THEY'LL TELL YOU
Svantaggi
I worked for Homes.com
- You're doing 3 jobs in one and the pay does not reflect that
- it is churn and burn. The average tenure here is 7 months
- Management doesn't know what's going on 3/4 of the time. It is all up to the CEO and he's on his private jet more than 3/4 of the time
