Everything to prepare for a Dream interview: why the firm, and the questions candidates there reported being asked.
From the inside

3 reasons for Dream
The useful distinction to draw is whether the firm develops, operates, or only invests. Saying which of the three you want, and why, separates you immediately from candidates who say they like real estate because it is tangible.
Publicly listed with several REITs and an asset management business, so the strategy and results are disclosed and worth reading first.
Large-scale urban development including purpose-built community projects, which is development rather than acquisition.
Founder-led with a visible public point of view on housing and cities, which gives you something specific to engage with.
