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.
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
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you think the capital market will be in 3 years?
My interview process with CBRE was thorough and multi-faceted, consisting of five rounds: a group discussion to assess communication and teamwork, an aptitude test for numerical and analytical skills, an in-depth interview with a business leader to gauge alignment with strategic goals, a team interaction to evaluate fit within the team, and an essay writing exercise to test English proficiency and critical thinking. The comprehensive nature of the process highlighted CBRE's commitment to finding candidates who are not only technically skilled but also well-suited to their company culture.
