Pros

Large company, many opportunities to try different areas of real estate Exposure to large, recognizable deals Big client list Good IT and database infrastructure All the tools and information you need about the industry at your fingertips

Cons

Too large of a company, easy to get lost as just another body Lack of leadership from select senior managers Disconnect or lack of understanding between management and personnel No connection between different offices. Each office acts as its own independent company. During the growth stage, CB hired everyone and anyone, regardless of their skills or competency levels

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.
