I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CBRE
Interview
In all, 3 rounds of interview were conducted. First round was more of a shortlisting one. Second was slightly to know you well. After 2 rounds, offer was made by the HR. The compensation was just 10% increment on the existing salary. Even after negotiations, when the HR didnt move ahead, I thought to go ahead with CBRE as there are a lot of positive reviews about the company and its culture. After agreeing with the lesser compensation, gave the 3rd round with Regional head.
Was selected in all 3 rounds. Post this, got to know that a formal offer would be made. However, after waiting for 2 weeks (and rejecting other calls in the meanwhile), I was informed by the HR that the position has been filled in and they would not make me offer. It was a serious case of cheating!!
Guys, if you are really interested in this co., you are definitely not getting a good compensation and there are hardly anybody from a good/top tier B school. But if you ve made up your decision to join, plz beware of fraudulent HR practices. The consulting division may be fine but HR dept is pathetic! Unprofessional attitude is not expected from a co. which claims to be a Fortune 500 co.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Profile based questions, NPV calculations and other easy questions
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.

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?
