I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CBRE (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2012
Interview
I talked to a person over the phone. They asked me basic questions about myself and what my ambitions were and where I was headed towards. It was a long call about an hour. Then I had two tests that I was subjected to.
Two or three rounds. First was behavioral. Second was a modeling test. Third was presenting the text and pitching business. Met with the team and guy who ran the whole office. Overall was a great experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain how you would underwrite this and pitch this business.
The interview with CBRE consisted of only one round with the team I applied for. Asked questions on past job experience and why I want to work for CBRE. All behavioural questions.
Asked a lot of background information, and also asked question regarding views on property market and capital market etc
Some of them seems not quite related to the job
Maybe the interviewer is testing the candidate about the sense to the property market

Question 1
How do you think the capital market will be in 3 years?
