      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.

      Joining CBRE was the worst professional decision I ever made

      Pros

      They had nice cutlery in the head office cafe.

      Cons

      74% of PMs leave within 12 months in the UK. I got told this on my last day - DO NOT JOIN. I was there for 6 months and didn’t receive a single accurate payslip in that time. Even now, I left at the end of last month and was owed 8 days holiday. Again, they haven’t paid for these days and I’m now having chase payroll even after leaving. Oh, and Payroll/HR are absolutely incompetent. I got literally no onboarding. Not even a H&S walk round. I also didn’t get a leaving interview or probation review as I handed my notice in prior to completing the 6 month probationary period. Management focus entire on money coming in rather than good delivery and looking after its people. Once they have the money on the books, senior BU Management don’t care at all. Chaos management is more accurate. Politics is next level, where numbers are massaged and ridiculous promises are made to which delivery teams are then scrambling to deliver. Literally no formative Project Management structure what so ever utilised anywhere. Teams in-fight daily, with people looking after their own bonus before actually doing what is right, frequently to the disadvantage of others.
