I applied through college or university. I interviewed at CBRE (Singapore)
Interview
The interviewers were good and nice. Overall not too bad. not much pressure during the interview. but I guess they ask some tricky questions so you need to bear that in mind
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CBRE (London, England)
Interview
The interview started 30 minutes late, and the guy was really rude, almost as if he didn't want to be there. He barely paid attention the whole time. Honestly, he was one of the worst interviewers I've ever seen.

Question 1
The interviewer asked about my background, experience, and what I'm looking for in this position.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CBRE (Indianapolis, IN) in Oct 2025
Interview
I had a recruiter reach out to me to apply for the role. The process consisted of three interviews: Phone call, a Zoom interview, followed by an in-person. The overall process took place over the course of a month. The first of the three interviews went well enough. After the final interview, I was told when they would be following up with a possible decision (in about a week) and to reach out (via email) with any questions I had in the interim. After that time expired, I did follow up and received NO response. What I found interesting was the fact that I had actually worked with one of the interviewers before when we were each employed at different companies.

Question 1
"Do you feel that having your PMP has helped you in any way with the PM role? I was considering getting mine but wanted to know your thoughts. It has no bearing on this interview."
