      Corporate Cronyism at Its Finest

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The salary is probably 10% higher than similar positions in the industry.

      Cons

      If you're not coming in as a consultant then don't bother trying to make a career at CBRE. Most of the managers and senior managers are former consultants. They rarely promote from within the company but instead hire buddies from their former consultant companies. Most of the new work is either outsourced out or performed by consultants. Senior management could care less about your grievances. Everyone is looking out for themselves.

      Employees should come first

      Facilities coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is ample opportunity to grow within the company, but you may have to switch accounts to do so. This is an international company, so unlimited opportunities to transfer to locations of your choosing.

      Cons

      If you don't negotiate your salary to what you want upfront, then it's a long and slow process that doesn't keep up with inflation. You must transfer in order to get decent pay raises.

      Good company, but a horrible place to work.

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable company with assured revenue, good exposure and learning as to "how things work" in New York Commercial Real Estate. Nice offices.

      Cons

      Old school, conservative mind-set. It's real estate. Lots of all-flash, no substance personalities. It's the nature of the beast. A monster of a company. Some people are overworked and underappreciated, while others seem to be coasting through doing minimal paper pushing. A sense of, this is how it is and you can't do anything about it.
