Awesome values, great flexibility

Senior Business Analyst (Current Employee)
Dallas, TX

I have been working at CBRE full-time for more than a year

ProsCBRE truly focuses on the corporate values of Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence. All employees are treated with respect and are supported through their career.

ConsThere seems to be a lack of continuity between countries and an unclear vision (or execution) of the 'global' approach of the organization from leadership.

Advice to Senior ManagementView the company as a global organization and not shiloed by country or line of business. We have an amazing opportunity to leverage all of our experience and opportunities to really serve our customers.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Commercial Real Estate Broker Tenant Rep

Associate Director (Former Employee)
Newport Beach, CA

I worked at CBRE full-time for more than a year

ProsOffer full service real estate services. Global network. Large pool of market data and statistics.

ConsMust take personality test. Large company splits.

Advice to Senior ManagementTry to promote team collaboration within the network of brokers, property managers, space planners, sustainability, marketing, research and admin employees. Difficult to do with the nature of this business but I think a team effort is always the best approach. Also work hard to stay on cutting edge of trends to keep a market advantage.
