What is going on with CBRE’s hiring? Six years ago I had multiple interviews and even attended their Chicago networking event, then they went completely silent. The same thing happened this year—I completed a panel interview in early November and got no response despite follow-ups. Why can’t they send a simple rejection in a reasonable time frame like other companies?

I've said it before and stand by it still: Recruiting is brand management 101. If an employer can't manage the easy stuff (like sending an automated thanks-no-thanks email) then they've told me who they are and how they value other people's time. Sometimes you get a glimpse of the problem (e.g., they're incompetent, tool-cool-for-the room, passive-aggressive baby managers) but who cares? Be grateful you didn't go any further with them, check them off your list, and move on.

It’s part of their sink-or-swim culture. Them ghosting you is tip of the iceberg: for decades CBRE has fostered low support, demanding hours, and an inconsistent management structure.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
