Pros

You'll help the company to profit and they'll boast about "big wins", while they keep your salary frozen for a few years. You'll learn the art of brown-nosing in order to get ahead, regardless of your intellect. Great team culture, if you like to take one for the team.

Cons

Promotion is based on "who you know" rather than "what you know". They keep your salary frozen for extended periods (2-3 years). Lack of accountability: You are expected to do things that other people are supposed to own, and then aren't even recognized for it. Poor recognition: Do your job very well and you hear nothing. Make one mistake, and they hang it over your head like a dark cloud.

Pros

Access to terrific Microsoft technology and a flexible work schedule. If you get in the right political sphere, your career trajectory will be steep. Exposure to other vendors and Microsoft itself is a plus for networking.

Cons

Complete lack of vision or communicated mission. Senior management is constantly grasping at straws as they continuously try to define/re-define a value proposition. Mid-level management positions are filled with people who admit to being "willfully ignorant" about the job requirements/demands of their subordinates. Worse, many of these managers don't even understand the basics of their own jobs (like the senior project manager who doesn't know the difference between a project and a deliverable).

Pros

None, best thing was leaving

Cons

Company doesn't back it's employees. Clients word is always taken over the employees. Happy for employees to be bullied in the workplace and offer no support. No support given to employees that are struggling with mental health issues. return to work process is laughable. management are happy to throw employees under a bus to save themselves. very little career progression. discrimination happens constantly in CBRE, especially if you live north of the border.
