Intern Review

I really enjoyed the six weeks I spent at Cushman and Wakefield. I appreciated being able to get involved in a variety of work and the teams patience in explaining new terms and concepts to me. Everyone was very welcoming and I feel I got a lot out of it.

I felt valued by my colleagues. I was made to feel like part of the team, I was asked my opinion in meetings and colleagues came to me asking to complete work for them which would actively contribute to client projects.

I was given a lot of support by the team I worked in. They always made the effort to put time aside to explain new concepts to me and always provided the background to the projects they were working on to help me understand the bigger picture. They made sure they introduced me to a variety of people throughout the business who could provide further support on the projects I was working on. The team were approachable and encouraged me to ask questions throughout the internship.

I was given a variety of work and was kept very busy throughout the six weeks.

I was given responsibility from day one and was given more and more work as the internship progressed.

The knowledge I developed whilst working at Cushman and Wakefield has been really helpful. It was provided practical examples to the theory I am learning on the Real Estate Masters. Furthermore during the internship we were given presentation training and a group intern project. The skills I learnt here will be very useful not only during the Masters, where we have assessed group presentations, but also beyond in work situations.

The office had a great atmosphere. Everyone in the office was very approachable and willing to take the time to explain their role to you.

The internship was very well organised with an induction day and various training days throughout the internship. The welcome presentations were very insightful and provided a good foundation of knowledge about the company. The HR team were friendly and approachable and kept everyone up to date.

The company invested in us through running development work shops throughout the internship. The presentation session was particularly useful as we had to do a presentation at the end of our internship.

The future employment prospects within Cushman and Wakefield are exceptionally appealing. The company have a great APC programme with 100% pass rate. Everyone I met during my six weeks was approachable, friendly and loved working for the company, inspiring me to want to work there.

Yes a very good social scene with weekly drinks and soft ball organised.

Being based in central London the cost of living and socialising is relatively expensive.

Being based in Central London there was a good nightlife and social scene.

Yes, I had the opportunity to get involved with the office netball team which was great fun and a good way to get to know lots of people in other departments.
