Pros

Great work life balance, CBRE provides a generous amount of time off and the ability to work from home.

Cons

There is not much transparency between the different lines of business. It is challenging to know what is going on in Project Development wen you are in Transaction Management.

Pros

-Fortune 500 Company -Brokers are some of the best in the business and very successful financially

Cons

-Brokers are treated like celebrities and are all wealthy white men (do not know of a single ethnic broker in the SF office) -Very few brokers actually started out as analyst and worked their way up, usually just poach top brokers from other companies -Any support position (analyst, senior analyst, graphic designer, client services, etc.) is grossly underpaid and is expected to serve the brokers every request 24/7 with no outlined career path -SF management team is extremely dysfunctional and incapable - i question whether this is really how a fortune 500 company operates every day -Analysts typically stay for 2 years before burning out and moving on to competitor who is actually willing to help transition them to brokers

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.
