Costar is a legal department pretending to be a data company.
To emphasize on this, CoStar has a toxic culture, heard this on the street from many Analysts. I declined my offer from them with a similar offer elsewhere. They were rude and condescending after I sent a professional thank you letter with my rescinding.
I'm at the point, I kind want to apply again and then ghost them. I'm petty like that.
Was talking to a veteran NYC real estate lawyer who said that Donald Trump once tried to terminate the ground lease on the Empire State Building. This guy had seen it all, but even he was incredulous about that.
