What is a typical working day like at CBRE?

None that I can remember.

There were people with crazy personality promoted to positions not qualified or no relevant experience to lead. This created chaos down the org chain. Team leaders would threw subordinates under the bus. Project leaders and line leaders don't respect or care team's WLB and employee had to burn mid night oil and/or work in weekend to get things done and meet deadline.

Great company to work for.

Rotating Shifts and No incentive bonus

Some of the greatest colleagues who become friends for life

my experience took a negative turn after I returned from maternity leave. Upon my return, I was unexpectedly demoted from my position, without clear explanation or justification. I was reassigned to an administrative role, a significant step backward in both responsibility and professional development. This shift in role felt like a direct consequence of my maternity leave and underscored a lack of support for working mothers at CBRE. The company’s treatment of employees returning from parental leave highlights a broader issue of gender inequality—where taking maternity leave seemed to result in an automatic devaluation of my skills and professional experience, despite my proven track record prior to my leave. Unfortunately, my experience at CBRE reflected a larger pattern of how women, particularly mothers, are often penalized in the workplace when it comes to career advancement. The lack of flexibility and understanding in supporting employees returning from maternity leave suggests that CBRE has not fully embraced the principles of equality and inclusivity. A company that values diversity and growth should ensure that all employees, regardless of gender or parental status, are given the same opportunities to thrive.

Anti social hours for some people

Big name A few solid coworkers

- Been here few months; you can transfer after 6, but the environment may drain you before then - Company policies and manager behavior rarely align - Warnings and termination threats come fast, even without documented performance issues - Positive feedback is few and far between - Expectations shift constantly with little communication - Extra effort goes unnoticed and personally wouldn’t do it but I’ve seen it— early arrivals, skipped lunches, cost‑saving work, flexibility - Rumor‑based concerns raised but never formally addressed - Managers rewarded and not held accountable despite lacking respect, integrity, or basic management skills - Blame always pushed downward; leadership not held accountable - Strongly advise against going above and beyond — take every break you’re entitled to - If you can make it through the first six months, hopefully the grass is greener or at least less detrimental.
