Former Employee Your experience at CoStar largely depends on your mindset and team placement. If you’re financially motivated, there’s real opportunity to earn well beyond industry averages. Compensation plans—whether you're on LoopNet, Homes, Apartments, or CoStar Suite—are strong, and top performers are rewarded generously. Senior leadership, despite criticism, doesn’t hesitate to incentivize success with steep bonuses, even from the CEO directly at internal corporate outings.
However, the culture can be challenging. The in-office environment is intense, with a strict four-day in-seat requirement and a reputation for being toxic. Resilience and a thick skin are essential to thrive here. Reversals are frustrating—if a client you didn’t originally sell decides to cancel, the hit often falls on you. That said, there are also perks like auto-renewals and easy wins that balance things out over time.
Ultimately, CoStar is not for the faint of heart. It’s a high-pressure, high-reward environment. If you can handle the demands and stay focused, the financial upside and exposure to a fast-growing, successful company are significant. But for those who value flexibility or a more supportive work culture, it may not be the right fit—especially in today’s SaaS landscape where rigid office policies are becoming less attractive.
