I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CoStar Group (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was referred by another employee. About a week after I applied, I received a call to schedule an interview with a manager via telephone. Only two or three standard interview questions were asked and the conversation closed with a description of what CoStar does.
A week later there was an in-person interview with a research manager. The interview was very relaxed. The questions were basic and the manager was easygoing and friendly. After this interview, you sit with another employer and watch firsthand what a researcher does and complete a mock call. In total, the entire interview process (phone, in-person, and shadowing) took about 3 hours.
After one week I received and accepted an offer.

I applied online. I interviewed at CoStar Group (Richmond, VA)
Interview
Extremely lengthy. 4 stages over about 2 months. Panel interview that took 6 hours. One panelist did not show and added another interview stage. Due to length, I found a better offer and declined after finally getting to an offer.

I applied through university. I interviewed at CoStar Group (London, England)
Interview
The interview was very professional and they really need you to know the role and company inside out they want a background on your experience as well and im not sure what else
Basic interview, that lasted one or two instances. Shadowed researcher and made some calls with the interviewer. The whole process was quick and lasted less than a month, average difficulty overall for the process.
