The Role
I really enjoyed my internship at Cushman & Wakefield. It was a great experience.
Everybody in my team was great and I felt very valued by every member. The work I carried out was very much appreciated by them all.
I was given help and support throughout my internship by my buddy and my supervisor. They were always willing to help out and answer any questions I had.
I always had tasks to carry out which meant that I wasn't sitting around doing nothing. There was a great balance because I didn't feel overwhelmed with work.
I was given a good amount of responsibility within my team and I always felt that the support was there if I needed any.
I learnt alot in the 6 weeks that I was at Cushman & Wakefield which I feel will help me in my future career.
The Company
The atmosphere was great with everybody being very welcoming and friendly, I soon felt part of the team.
The internship was very well structured and organised.
I had the opportunity to aquire knowledge from different people within the company.
Company Parties/Events
A future career at Cushman & Wakefield is very appealing and the company would be great to work for. The graduate scheme they offer is very good and appears to be very well organised.
The Culture
I had the opportunity to meet up with other placemnet students in the other offices.
The internship was in Birmingham city centre and therefore there was a range of places to go.
There is the opportunity to get involved in sporting activities outside of work.
