Pros

Nice office near London Bridge

Cons

Awful experience. You take a lower salary on the basis of a substantial end of year bonus, to find they very rarely pay them. You WILL be on the laptop into most evenings. Cbre do not want you to spend any time on site. They want a salesman who will win the work, put a firm on site and hope for the best. If you want to manage, steer clear. If you want to produce endless half arsed tender docs, invoices, applications for payments, cost plans etc. etc. etc. Go for it. Maybe the most miserable 6 months of my life.

Pros

Plenty of networking events, extra half day off leading up to public holidays, average insurance benefits and salary + bonus

Cons

- Annual increment and promotion is low usually single digit % increase. - Bonus is almost always the same no. of months regardless of output or having more/less responsibilities. Some teams even get the same bonus even if they are not performing, so you have to question whether time and effort is worthwhile. - Some teams get to go on annual team trips even if not doing well. - Leaves cannot be encashed or brought forward to next year, and managers and leaders don't care if you burn them. - Leaders decision on office planning and experience is questionable, i.e. lack of space, merging of offices. Even simple things like access card and lockers take forever to be issued. - HR also does not do much for employee wellbeing and benefits.
