Nothing, the organization is great and they have excellent team culture.Working at Brookfield means becoming part of a global alternative asset manager that has owned and operated real asset-related businesses for more than 115 years. It means joining a global team committed to generating superior long-term investment returns and being part of a collaborative, results-oriented culture.
At Brookfield, we focus on maintaining an entrepreneurial approach to doing business, and even though it is a big firm, Brookfield acts like a small one. Our culture is built on mutual respect, teamwork and passion – values that are deeply ingrained in the organization. Senior leaders work side by side with colleagues of all levels; initiative and hard work—rather than a job title—determine one’s degree of responsibility; and the high degree of collaboration among employees globally creates and maintains an entrepreneurial feeling, despite our actual size.
We put as much time and care into our hiring decisions as we do into our investment decisions, and we take a long-term approach to both.
Even as we continue to grow, we maintain our entrepreneurial approach. The size, scale and breadth of our business—spanning multiple continents, sectors and markets—translate into unique and varied career opportunities for our employees. Our people work on some of the largest real estate, infrastructure and renewable power transactions in the world. Both our business model and culture make it possible to build a career that is dynamic, multidisciplinary and international in scope. We have a “grow our own” talent strategy where our emphasis on developing executives is supported by our flat organizational structure and long-term focus. Personal development comes in the form of on-the-job learning and “stretch” roles to expand employees' comfort zones supported by exposure to new activities, new geographies and new teams.
When we hire, we look for people who can build a career at Brookfield. We are committed to developing our employees, and we invest in them by creating opportunities across our various businesses and regions. This approach enables us to build teams and cultivate leaders whose values match those of the firm and whose commitment to Brookfield is long term.
