The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship and feel that I have learnt a huge amount and have contributed as well.
I have felt valued by my colleagues because I have done a significant amount of work for a larger proportion of the team.
I feel that I have been given very good support and guidance because I have been given a large variety of work which was explained well to me and if I had any questions regarding anything everyone was always happy to help.
On a daily basis I was busy since all members of my team were willing to give me work to do and were very approachable if I wanted to do more. I also got a lot of chances to get out of the office which helped fill my day.
I think I was given adequate responsibility for an intern. I was given a variety of work to do therefore I was able to learn and develop of lots of different skills which I will bring forward.
I have not only learnt a large array of new skills but I have also developed a lot of my existing skills. This will be very useful for my degree since I study a cognate degree which is very transferable. It will then be useful in the future since they are skills essential to what the team does and I have spent the month with a team I would happily work for in the future.
The Company
The general atmosphere was very nice, everyone in the team and office is very approachable and pleasant to work and socialise with.
The placement has been very well organised and structured. Most days something has been planned for the interns outside of our teams. This has included lots of opportunities to learn and network.
The company has provided lots of opportunities to help me learn a lot about the industry itself. I have come away with lots of new skills which will bode very well for the future.
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Savills is a very appealing company to work for with great prospects to not only work for but to spend a whole career with and is my number one company I wish to work for as a graduate.
The Culture
My fellow placement colleagues have been very nice and social which has made the internship very fun since large amounts of time have been as a group. Most are also willing to socialise after work which is something I enjoy doing and am grateful others wanted to do so as well.
The cost of living and socialising has been high being in London but worth it.
The pubs have been very social and good to meet and network in.
There are plenty of opportunities and I was able to play a sports game for Savills which I really enjoyed and am very grateful for.
