    The Role

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

    • I have enjoyed the internship to a large extent. Although i have only been in for 5 days, i have gained a plethora of experience. This is because i have been working on 3 different valuation reports which has provided variety in my work load.

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

    • I have felt really valued by all of my colleagues at all levels from graduate to director. Firstly, i have been given responsibility to work on my own reports and been provided with positive feedback. Secondly, i have been integrated into all of the graduate training which has widened my knowledge and also given me an insight into the supportive graduate scheme. Finally, i have been included into all social events within the team including lunches, drinks and the welcome to the team picnic.

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

    • I have been given really sound support and guidance. Each task set has been talked through thoroughly. Whenever i have had a question relating to my work someone has always been there to talk me through it.

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

    • I have been really busy each day which has been great. Every time i am busy at all times - in meetings, talks, inspections and report writing. This has been a huge benefit in contrast to other work experience where i have not been busy all the time.

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

    • I have been given a large amount of responsibility from the outset. This is because i have been able to write and research for 3 reports. From this i have learnt an awful lot.

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

    • I have developed lots of skills which are transferable into projects at university. I think the fact that i have been included in the graduate training has been most beneficial as its given me an overview of the graduate training scheme at Savills which i really value.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • the general atmosphere has been really positive. Everyone works very hard but at the same time has a great time socially.

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

    • The internship has been really well organised because i have known exactly what i am doing each day. To have a few more intern related events would be great to meet the cohort. However, i appreciate this is not possible in these current times.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The company has invested massively in my personal training in every way which i value alot and can transfer into studies, interviews and later in the work place.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

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

    • The future employment prospect within the organisation is really appealing to me and i will be sure to apply to the graduate scheme this year.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Among the fellow placement students there was limited social events but that was inevitable considering the circumstances. However, my team have made up for this by hosting a welcome picnic and inviting me to lunch.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Fairly high because its in London and i had to travel on the tube and buy lunch each day.

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

    • None - COVID

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
