Pros

Salary good due to being downtown. All other pros gone

Cons

Culture changing in IT to more offshore consultancy based, cheaper is best no matter the quality. Certain consultancy has too strong a foot hold and edges out any employee who doesn;t like the poor quality of work. Flexible working taken away - CIO directive Moral at it's lowest Everyone worried for their jobs. Complaints to senior team or HR ignored and negative behavior (bullying and harrassment) encouraged to get things done quicker.

Pros

The salary is probably 10% higher than similar positions in the industry.

Cons

If you're not coming in as a consultant then don't bother trying to make a career at CBRE. Most of the managers and senior managers are former consultants. They rarely promote from within the company but instead hire buddies from their former consultant companies. Most of the new work is either outsourced out or performed by consultants. Senior management could care less about your grievances. Everyone is looking out for themselves.

Pros

There is ample opportunity to grow within the company, but you may have to switch accounts to do so. This is an international company, so unlimited opportunities to transfer to locations of your choosing.

Cons

If you don't negotiate your salary to what you want upfront, then it's a long and slow process that doesn't keep up with inflation. You must transfer in order to get decent pay raises.
