Pros

Nice office near London Bridge

Cons

Awful experience. You take a lower salary on the basis of a substantial end of year bonus, to find they very rarely pay them. You WILL be on the laptop into most evenings. Cbre do not want you to spend any time on site. They want a salesman who will win the work, put a firm on site and hope for the best. If you want to manage, steer clear. If you want to produce endless half arsed tender docs, invoices, applications for payments, cost plans etc. etc. etc. Go for it. Maybe the most miserable 6 months of my life.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
