Pros

CBRE attracts talented people and has the global scale to provide employees with great career opportunities. The company is growing rapidly so employees must be able to deal with change and ambiguity as business models evolve and new businesses are acquired and integrated into the company. CBRE has an ethical business culture, a strong balance sheet and a solid vision to grow it's business.

Cons

Departments and regions tend to work in isolation and/or in silos and there could be more consistency in sharing and executing processes in a standard fashion across geographies and adjacent business units.

Pros

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.

Pros

Honestly? Not much. The vision insurance was decent, I guess. Truthfully though, there wasn't much.

Cons

Management's refusal to allow employees freedom. I routinely got praise from the client and hit the maximum score on my goals. If things weren't done "by the book", they were wrong. The health insurance was awful. Going to self-employment, one of the things that you hear is that you're going to pay a lot for health insurance. However, I'm actually paying LESS than when I worked for CBRE. When you work for CBRE, don't consider job security something that you're going to have. I saw two employees with 15+ years for the company get laid off, with zero severance and no option to transfer elsewhere, unless they wanted to uproot their families and move states for more work and a pay cut. This is the worst company that I've ever had the displeasure to work for. If you have literally any other option of employment, please consider doing that.
