5/5

5/5

The Company

5. How well structured was the insight?

The insight was extremely organised by Eleanor, the variation in activities that we attended proved Savills to be the large firm that it is known to be.

5/5

6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

The atmosphere in my team was more quite than other teams, but this is the nature of the difference between investment and agency for example.

4/5

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

I was given plenty of tasks of which I tackled head on, there is only a small amount of training they can give to someone that is only with them for one week.

4/5

8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

It defiantly cleared up the APC pathway for me through the departmental overviews that they ran throughout the week. These were very insightful and I now have a more open mind to certain sides of the industry that I had previously decided I was not interested in.

4/5

9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

I was always aware of the company culture at Savills compared to that of its competition. The culture of work hard play hard is a culture I would love to be apart of long term.

5/5

10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

I will 100% now be applying to Savills for a job in the future now.

5/5

Savills are reimbursing us £10o for travel expenses.

12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

Yes, there was a lunch with the directors, this was a great opportunity to ask them how they got into property, why they chose Savills and how long it took them to become a Director.

4/5

13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

Yes, there was a lunch with the directors, this was a great opportunity to ask them how they got into property, why they chose Savills and how long it took them to become a Director.

4/5

14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

We had a talk on Graduate opportunities from Eleanor. this gave us an insight into the social side of savills and the different sports they play as well as other activities such as Hannah being a part of the Savills choir.

4/5

15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

I am the president of Stenton Halls next year at the university of Reading, I will be insisting that all of the keen Real estate students in Stenton sign up for this fantastic opportunity.
