Pros

They are a good company with a good reputation.

Cons

Some of their managers need lessons in people skills. CBRE bought the buildings where I worked in the management office. After putting us all through interviews they waited until 2 weeks before the close to tell most of the management office staff they were not wanted. I was lured to stay by being offer a contract position and told I they would find me a position at another property if I helped with the transition. They brought their own team in and my duties I had been doing for three years were distributed to their employees. After apply for positions on the CBRE website at their encouragement after a month and a half I was given two weeks notice and told I would not be needed anymore.

Pros

Entrepreneurial, vast network of resources, competitive salaries. This in mind, my experience is much more dictated by my exclusive client, rather than CBRE. I do, however, appreciate the autonomy CBRE has given me to serve my client.

Cons

As a large Commercial Real Estate firm, procedures can get caught-up in unnecessary bureaucracy. Additionally, colleagues tend to get shifted around too much to establish consistency for proper team-building.
