Pros
CBRE is a growing company with many nationwide opportunities for growth. They are the largest real estate company in the world and if interested, will spend a significant amount of time in developing a potential leader. They have strong leadership throughout the country who are busy but very successful. If you are able to establish yourself then they will take the time to make things happen for you. They are all about building relationships with the client, so one must be patient for things to happen within their career as the client is the primary concern. I have had great managers and excellent reviews. Being a hard worker and wanting to change things for the better is a significant plus to the leaders within this organization when evaluating your performance.
Cons
The most irritating thing about CBRE is the political game. As with most big companies, there are several layers to go through to get something done. Unfortunately, the information that is provided on the company intranet is not helpful in getting people visability. You really have to search to find programs that are beneficial. However, if you ask any HR person they will say that the company has lots of opportunities. The other big downside is the possibilty of being pigeon-holed onto an account with limited interaction with the rest of the company. It can be hard to advance if you are dependent upon the client's corporation.
