Pros

CBRE is only company which will you laptop (after 7 day of joining without charger, bag, mouse etc) then after a no of request they will give you charger, then to get mouse you have to again beg. At last you will think that you are no more a professional but became a beggar and you will purchase your own carry bag and second monitor HDMI cable. THE WORST EXPERIENCE I AM FACING IS WITH SO CALLED #WORLD's LARGEST REAL ESTATE CONSULTING COMPANY.# DONT JOIN IT.

Cons

If you want to park your car then you have to pay 3500 INR per month. (Again cheap rule from so called WORLD's LARGEST REAL ESTATE CONSULTING COMPANY)

Pros

Great co-workers (some). Relocation potential! Bragging rights. Discount on cellular services.

Cons

Most employees lie on our surveys bc we're worried they're not anonymous as they claim to be so here you have it: -A lot of GREAT people have left this company. -There is little to no training, so good luck! -Its so many unnecessary steps to processes, its hard to get anything done. -The workload is INSANE! You never walk out with all your work done, EVER bc the better you are the more they overload you. I had one portfolio my first year, I had 6 before I left IN THE SAME POSITION! -Raises are pennies for most while managers get bonuses (NO LIE! I got a $0.17 raise one year while a manager was getting $5K semi-annual bonuses) -A lot of people in lower positions are better at doing the job of the seniors they're assisting. -Overtime pay is not guaranteed! -Mangers are luck of the draw. A lot of them still operate on antiquated hierarchal mentalities. -Most promotions are slow and come only when convenient to someone else unless you're a part of the "boys club". It isn't based on merit and availability as it should be. -You can be forced to work in a manager capacity but they won't give you the title or pay officially. One amazing woman was a RESA/AREM for 9yrs working as a REM before they gave her a title even though she was doing the work (No exaggeration!) -They "downsized" at the same time they were bragging about being a top earner on Mad Money on CNBC. -The way they bill clients is very sketchy too bc a client can pay for a full-time REM not knowing they're sharing that REM with 4 other clients so its impossible for them to be full-time. Pretty sure that'll eventually come back to bite them. -I was forced to change offices without 24 hrs notice with no input! By far the most ridiculous, inconsiderate, unappreciated experience ever. -Managers plan things behind employees backs then suddenly drop the bomb without notice and pretend they knew nothing about it, a lot. -Benefits are expensive and their 401k match is dwindling! -Warned by veteran employees to RUN bc I'm too good for the company's bs. -EMPLOYEES HAVE A LOT MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS COMPANY THAN THEY ARE WILLING TO ADMIT!

Pros

There are good people to work with, but does not out weight the Cons. Not worth working here. Do not waste your time, until you read many of the reviews here. This review is only for Analyst work related.

Cons

Long work hours. Management is extremely unethical and unorganized. Management blames people below them if they feel something is not done properly. People below management do not have a voice. Turnover rate is high and management is keeping it a secret. My department had to many unethical people to work with. There were a good people, but I did not work closely with them. The management people lies a lot and make themselves look good so that they can hold onto their power. This is extremely unfair. If you get an analyst job with this company, expect long hours and and unrealistic expectation. Turn around for any project ridiculously make little sense. One of the worst experience of working here is that management would want to know what you are into (hobbies and outside of work). It is ignoring when they find out and bring it up at work. Stuff like these are none of their business. Some people are unprofessional when it comes to talking about this stuff. If you work for this company, then it is best to keep it to yourself.
