    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Really enjoyed my time there, fantastic department and everyone was very welcoming.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • They seemed thankful for the work that I had done for them and explained how the work that I had done would be used in the grand scheme of things.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Support was given when needed but otherwise left to get on with the task at hand.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • There was only really one day when I didn't have much to do. Otherwise I was kept busy with all members of the team giving me pieces of work and I also had a couple of projects running throughout which I could pick up when I didn't have anything else to do.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The work I was given was not particularly complex but it was used to give clients and also background research for the team which was fairly important.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I think that the skills will be very useful for my Masters, particularly managing multiple projects at once and prioritising. Spending a lot of time working in the industry and hearing conversations about the market and work in general is very helpful to pick up bits of knowledge.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Everyone was very friendly and were able to have a laugh and drink together but also worked hard.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The internship started with a full day induction which was incredibly useful giving an overview of Cushman and where they see themselves in a few years time, as well as team bonding and how to get the most out of the internship. The team seemed prepared for my arrival and had sorted things out for me to do. There were activities to get involved with and a few sessions run to give us an insight into our personalities and how we work best.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • With the induction day and insight session we were able to learn more about ourselves and how others work to get the best from both.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • They seem like an excellent company to work for and many of their senior staff came up through the graduate scheme. The graduate scheme is well run and very successful and the general atmosphere of the company is somewhere that I really enjoyed and could see myself working in the future.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Went out for lunch and drinks regularly.

    4/5

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Numerous bars to choose from.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
