      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CBRE (San Diego, CA) in July 2011

      Interview

      I got called in for an interview with a manager. I was asked about my experience in accounting, when in reality the job deals more with paperwork for leases. It also involves calls from the brokers for updates. There's also a math skills test and an actual hands-on file on a lease for verification. I was the third highest candidate, so I got called immediately for a second interview with my prospective trainer. The first highest candidate was ruled out. I got an email a week later stating that I was not chosen. I sent the manager a thank you letter.

      Interview

      The first interview is a phone call where you will be given information on CBRE and the track of someone who starts as an Accounting Associate. You will be asked why you want to work at CBRE and what interests you in accounting. I have not done my second interview yet.

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CBRE (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2019

      Interview

      Phone interview first, and follow up by in person interview. Decisions are made very quickly. The phone interview was difficult compare with others, similar to in person interview, asked lots of behavioural and technical questions.
