Presentation Behavioral
The hiring manager was really great about keeping in touch between interview stages. First, I had a screening call with a recruiter, then I did a mock presentation for two executives, and the final step was an in-person interview where they also gave me a tour of the office.

Behavioral Presentation
I went through 3 interviews before being required to give a presentation. The presentation deck was given to me less than 24 hours prior to the presentation, and it was expected to be customized. I was working a full time job and also had other interviews lined up that I was preparing for. I gave the presentation to a VP and a peer. I spoke with the VP afterwards who said “If you get the job this doesn’t mean that you’re hired. We would reassess after 90 days” which was a huge turnoff. I had a steady job, other interviews in the works, and I didn’t want to join your company for a “trial run”.

Behavioral Presentation
Started with 2 phone chats with recruiters, then went through multiple interviews with CoStar leaders. Had to give a presentation to 2 senior directors, and then came in for a final interview with 3 different senior leaders. Getting reimbursed for expenses took over 40 days after submitting all the receipts the day after the in-person interviews. The job was advertised as hybrid, but it's actually an in-office daily requirement.
