I had a Costar recruiter reach out to me on LinkedIn and I said no thanks. They asked me what was keeping me at my current company, and I mentioned how Costar had a reputation for poor company culture and high rate of employee turnover. I never heard back.

I just said no thanks but I’m glad you addressed it directly ! Their company culture is notoriously toxic.

Dread it. Run from it. Costar arrives all the same.

The company sued for $1 plus legal costs... which were about $400k. I haven't read what actually happened in the court, but he definitely had to shut the page down and may be really hurting financially because of this. That company is a nightmare, but it is a fact that the existence of the meme page got all current employees pretty big raises and helped steer otherwise potential employees away from that hell hole, so it wasn't all in vain.

They've posted a few pro-company memes and turned off comments.

CoStar is just doing what they always do, takeover a platform and spoil it. Nothing to see here!
