Pros
I have been sitting for an hour thinking about one positive point to write here but I could not come up with one. Apart from the usual mundane work life here, there is nothing I can write down that sets this company and its culture apart, I am surprised they even are listed on the Fortune ranking ( got to be because of the folks working in States or elsewhere)
Cons
1) Pathetic work life balance, there is always work but no life. You will feel if you have a life then you have done something wrong or people will make you feel like you are not doing enough work. 2) The HR Department is a joke, they do not do one bit to make the lives of the employees more enjoyable, but just like every other HR department they act like as if they drive the company's revenues. 3) The promotions here will make you laugh every day, time bound promotions have led to so many associates becoming Managers, some of the Managers don't even exhibit one ounce of talent but because time here is equivalent to a designation change, they have become AGM AND SGM, their knowledge base you make you question your own choice. 4)One thing that you will learn here is not Real Estate knowledge, you will become a Pro at delegating work and a big preacher of sycophancy team environment. The word Team is a joke here, the only time you will see the team PSEUDO bonding would be in a stupid annual event, where you will find them playing "Dog in the bone". 5) The top management has a single minded focus on their own appraisals/Targets and nothing else. There is no weight given to each employees personal growth and how the Managers could lead by example and be a Role Models for their juniors. 6) The team environment is not conducive to a promising growth or work, people within the team are more concerned about pity issues- "who goes for more coffee breaks?" 7) You do not work for CBRE, you will sometimes feel you are working for the Alumni Association of Infinity Business School or IBS 8) The yearly appraisal process is exactly the opposite of how it should be. You will sometimes feel like telling the HR that nobody reads their - appraisal process mails; at least the top management does not ! 9) High iteration rate, something that the top Management has failed to address. There would be meetings where you will face questions like " you come late", " This report has to go out on Monday so work over the weekend", never would they conduct a meeting and humbly ask- " Guys, are we doing something wrong? could we make sure our team stays united and constant for atleast a year" 10) There is no -new point of view. The fixed hierarchy at the top does not have time for that. Keep copy pasting old slides and they are happy with it.
