Expect 12 hour days on multiple projects

Pros

Great compensation and definitely opportunity for advancement.

Cons

The company in incredibly relentless in pursuit of market share, which has everyone at all levels working around the clock. 12 hour days, 7 days a week, for months is not at all uncommon, and expected. Zero tolerance for error. Salaried employees do not get a set amount of paid time off, instead they claim you can take what you need. In reality this is meant to keep you working as much as possible. I never saw a single person take more than 1 week off at a time, and I would be shocked if anyone took more than two weeks, even at senior levels with people there for more than 10 years.

Growth Opportunities + Bad Pay

Pros

Many benefits from being at a large company. Tons of clients and ability to transfer internally. Hard work will get you promotions (just not money).

Cons

CBRE will do everything they can to not pay you well. I was told that I should be coming to work for reasons other than money and that I cared too much about salary. They kept hiring senior leadership, but the quality of senior leadership was horrible. Benefits weren't great. Severe problems with DE&I.
