    Doesn't Recommend
    Negative Outlook
    No opinion of CEO

    I worked at Cushman & Wakefield full-time for more than 10 years

    Pros

    Opportunities are what you make of them. You can achieve a lot as managers tend to not look over your shoulder.

    Cons

    Little to no direction from management other than to get something done. IT is basically a service to the company, and IT is about using 3rd party technology to implement anything new. CW is not a place for new software ideas unless you're implementing them from another company. Because of the company's diverse user base, very few business people want to participate in expressing their needs. IT essentially forces technology upon the company as opposed to partnering with the business. If you're not in the main locations of where IT decisions are being made, you're an outpost that hears about updates 3rd and 4th hand. Communication is pitiful.
