CBRE reviews

My time there was pretty disappointing. A few of us were let go without any warning or explanation, and it had nothing to do with performance. The culture here was all about optics. If you fit their “preferred” mold (private school, white) you were more likely to be promoted. Meanwhile, most of the people let go with me were from Asian backgrounds, which felt like more than just a coincidence. After talking to former employees, it seems like this wasn’t a one-off thing—others had noticed the same patterns. CBRE might have a big name, but if you’re not in their inner circle, don’t expect much in terms of fairness or career growth.

Despite the positive environment among coworkers, there was a complete lack of communication and empathy from upper management. It often felt like corporate representatives were just reading from a script, showing no genuine concern for employees during layoffs. There’s a significant disconnect between upper executives and front-line workers, with greed driving decision-making that negatively impacts morale. Additionally, I faced challenges with a supervisor whose behavior went unchecked for far too long, which I believe may have led to my denial of advancement opportunities. The lack of support and accountability in that situation was disappointing and added to an already difficult work environment.
