      CBRE - Microsoft account

      Project coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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).

      Great place to work

      Pros

      I can only speak to the Memphis office, however the pros are too numerous to list here. Senior management is always available and willing to listen, help, encourage, or support. Work/Life balance is not just a 'punch phrase' and time off for personal matters is not looked down upon. The Memphis office is a relaxed atmosphere with businsess casual dress and 'jeans Fridays'. Amount of PTO even for new hires is very respectable (3 weeks/year first 4 years with 4 weeks/year starting at the first of your 5th year of employment). All major holidays are non-work days as well as more 'minor' days in between. There are a few options for medical insurance however they are pricey. Salaries are competitive as long as you push for the higher pay - like most companies they are only going to pay you what they think they can get away with...

      Cons

      There is a large descrepancy between client teams on hours worked. Depending on the client you may work regular 8 hour days and for others you may need to put in 10-12 hour days. This is normally discussed prior to hiring for a certain client so at least the hours are not a 'suprise'. There is a disconnect between corporate and the day-to-day operations at times as you will routinely get notifications (at least weekly and usually daily) about some new initiative that will have no effect on you whatsoever except to clog up an overloaded inbox... Client teams that work in various cities/countries do not usually get the opportunity to meet each other which does not help foster the 'team' attitude so most of the time it feels like it is us vs them (accounting/leasing/ap versus "the field") For a progressive company like CBRE some of their HR initiatives are lagging. Flex time is allowed however you are still required to be in the office set times Monday through Friday. There is no telecommuniting and no options to work 'non-traditional' work weeks.

      Pros

      Freedom and Flexibility of Career path, options and choices

      Cons

      Teams are treated as independent business units so there can be wide disparities depending on whom you work with.
