Great Company and benefits - Software Engineer 1 CoStar Group Employee Review

Flexible and fun job and co workers

More money would’ve been nice

they fly you to richmond for two weeks and pay most expenses which is cool, job is very easy. the pay is decent, benefits are also decent, work life is also good.

if this is your only opportunity take it. this is not a real 'research' job. its where uber meets data entry. you drive around in an obnoxious and embarrasing looking costar wrapped car, TRESSPASSING into buildings. you report the tenants inside buildings. people think its weird and its hard to explain. If you decide not to tresspass, you will not hit your metrics and youre suceptible to a layoff. They train you in one way, and weekly seem to change up SOPs. So its not uncommon to fail an assignment due to a sudden 'change' in SOPs. Again, another excuse for the HR department to lay you off. The field research department gets rehired and cut every 3-4 years or so. So dont plan on this JOB being a career. you will not work at a desk, so youll be eating at gas stations (and using the bathroom there.) If youre a social person this job is not for you. You can go days without speaking to anyone else at work. Ive never met most of the people in my market.
