At the beginning there were problems -out of CBREs control- however they were managed well. The college I attended also had issues which weren't managed so well.

5/10

9a. Would you recommend CBRE to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Since being in the industry as an apprentice, I have heard about the other big companies offering the same services and most of these are rated less-superior by people who have worked there. It seems CBRE have the best standards and procedures.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to CBRE?

Your development of people skills is just as important as your technical knowledge.
