Pros

Pros: -Well-known global company with strong name recognition -Exposure to enterprise-level facilities operations and corporate systems -Structured safety, compliance, and work order processes -Opportunity to work in complex, high-responsibility environments

Cons

Cons: -Compensation did not feel competitive for the level of responsibility and experience required -Site-level culture can feel unsupportive and overly political -As a female engineer, I experienced bias and felt consistently second-guessed in technical decisions -Limited sense of inclusion in a male-dominated environment -Leadership support and fairness varied significantly by site -Performance management and termination processes felt abrupt and poorly communicated Overall: CBRE promotes a strong ethics culture, anonymous reporting channels, and global mobility opportunities. In my experience, these ideals did not match reality at the site level. I raised concerns in good faith and experienced discrimination and retaliation as a female engineer, which ultimately resulted in termination. Ironically, I was quickly hired by another major facilities firm (JLL) at the pay level I had been requesting, which highlighted how undervalued my experience was at CBRE and how inconsistent the application of its stated values can be.
