I would say, the interview process was about average. However, speaking beyond that, what's important to know is the job responsibilities exceeded what was described in the interview by far. The job was actually 3 roles blended in one.

The interview process at CBRE was underwhelming and lacked structure. There were delays and last-minute changes without proper communication, even though it was scheduled well in advance. The interviewers seemed disengaged and unprepared, making it hard to discuss the role meaningfully. Questions felt generic, and I didn't get to discuss how my skills aligned with their expectations. No follow-up or feedback was provided, making the experience feel incomplete and unprofessional.
