Pros

Your first few months are very inclusive The work is very good experience Very intelligent, highly motivated teams Benefits are competitive

Cons

Hiring takes forever because nobody is ever good enough Very punitive environment; Your mistakes will they be used against you... always High turnover; nobody ever seems to be be good enough for senior management People are seriously afraid of HR here; once you are on their radar things get very bad for you Get used to being micromanaged; you have no autonomy, no discretion; your opinions, ideas are not welcome Managers call people names; it’s just so unprofessional People are allowed to have alcohol in the office and managers go out at lunch and drink with clients then return to work No work-life balance. You will work from 7am to 9pm and on weekends

Pros

Big name company, that's it.

Cons

A "good ole' boys system" in the corporate environment. They do not support diversity no matter how they try to promote it. Industry dominated by white men who only give good jobs to their kids. Whole environment sucks, brokers are cheap and do not reward support staff.

Lack of Diversity - Blacks in Leadership Roles

Product manager

Business Outlook

Pros

I have worked for CBRE for 6 years. One of the good things I noticed about CBRE is its strive to become competitive in the Technology arena. I have met the CEO in person. His personality was motivating and uplifting.

Cons

One of the downsides to working for CBRE from my personal experience is as a Black woman I have had challenges when applying for Management positions. Me like some other Black women in the company - I can only speak for Digital and Technology Department quite often find ourselves having to file complaints through HR to be treated fairly. Although CBRE considers themselves to be a Diverse company, it seems to not be evenly dispersed when it comes to Blacks vs other minority races. Promotions are usually based on the buddy system.
