CIM Group reviews about "opportunity"

Management effectiveness is inconsistent and can create uneven workloads across teams. High performers often compensate for gaps in leadership capability and employees with strong technical knowledge tend to carry a heavier burden, leading to work/life balance challenges. There appears to be limited accountability in some areas and tenure can outweigh performance in retention decisions impacting team morale.

People here work for paycheck. There is no sense of purpose and that reflects in people's face at all levels and in all departments. It's hard to be inspired in the existing environment and nothing is done to motivate employees. The proof lies in the annual attrition rate which hovers between 25% and 35%. Lack of growth opportunities in back office departments. Employees in these departments are treated as second class employees, The leadership and their judgments in these departments are also questionable, No one knows what value these head of departments bring. There is no effort in employee retention. Many deserving employees are not promoted unless they give in their papers. There are examples of employees given promotion every time they resigned which provides some fun conversation in otherwise mundane environment. While many not so deserving move up the ladder which you can easily tell by talking to them. There is one common denominator- when you leave the company, you will have a smiling face. Employees who never smiled during their time in CIM were seen smiling on their last day in CIM.

Lack of support and loyalty from upper management. Massive layoffs in numerous areas without notice and inadequate severance packages.

No cons at this time.

The firm has a high-performance culture, which can lead to pressure and stress, particularly for those in investment and management roles. Like many firms in the real estate and investment sectors, employees may face long working hours, particularly during key deal-making periods or project deadlines. Some may find the corporate structure to be rigid, with less flexibility in terms of work-life balance or creative freedom. While CIM Group has a significant presence in North America, its global reach is more limited compared to some other large investment firms, potentially restricting opportunities for international experience.

Setup long term employees for failure. Create false narratives about you to fire you, even though every review was positive for 13 years and you received promotions .

Salaries are kept quiet making talking about it taboo Sometimes inflexible

Limited growth opportunities for more senior roles
