I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at CBRE (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
5 interviews over the course of 4 months. First with manager. Second with regional manager. Third with other brokers. Fourth same as 3rd. Fifth with first manager. Mostly easy questions getting to know the individual and the individuals network. Questions for the company or manager.
I thought the interview was fairly straight forward and a lot of the questions were typically aimed toward asesssing your personality. They were curious about previous work experiences as well.
Had 5 rounds including phone calls and in person. They were straight forward and not the deepest interviews. They seemed concerned about competition and would always ask who was interviewing me.
Difficult and challenging. At the same time. A lot of pointed questions about past experience and personality based questions. It was one of the more difficult ones I’ve had for sure. Definitely prepare for this interview because it is difficult
