Pros

Below descriptions are only applicable in China CBRE. Relatively flexible working time. Big brand as a professional consultancy company in the market. You can learn a lot in this company because you just have to build up everything by yourself when you just graduated.

Cons

Below descriptions are only applicable in China CBRE. Little team construction Imperfect incentive plan, procurement process, document tracking system... other SOP... Overlook on customer-center concept and contract risks because of being too aggressive in order to compete in the market

Pros

Honestly? Not much. The vision insurance was decent, I guess. Truthfully though, there wasn't much.

Cons

Management's refusal to allow employees freedom. I routinely got praise from the client and hit the maximum score on my goals. If things weren't done "by the book", they were wrong. The health insurance was awful. Going to self-employment, one of the things that you hear is that you're going to pay a lot for health insurance. However, I'm actually paying LESS than when I worked for CBRE. When you work for CBRE, don't consider job security something that you're going to have. I saw two employees with 15+ years for the company get laid off, with zero severance and no option to transfer elsewhere, unless they wanted to uproot their families and move states for more work and a pay cut. This is the worst company that I've ever had the displeasure to work for. If you have literally any other option of employment, please consider doing that.
