The Role
Thoroughly enjoyed my time with Savills. Had a variety of work which gave good insight into the company and also the industry. Good environment to work in with also social elements which made the experience enjoyable.
Really friendly office and was able to settle in quickly.
Whenever I needed help and support it was given which helped develop my knowledge and understanding of each task and also the career as a whole.
Always had lots of work to do, but not overwhelmed with too much. Variety of work too which also made it more enjoyable and beneficial.
Was given enough responsiblity to feel useful but not too much.
I think the practical skills and understanding that i have developed will be useful throughout my masters course as i will be able to see the reason behind learning different elements throughout the course.
The Company
Good atmosphere, very friendly and felt comfortable straight away.
All very organised with a lot of guidance when starting and when the internship was coming to an end.
Spent time helping me expanding my knowledge and giving me a broad experience throughout my time at Savills.
I hope that the summer scheme will open up opportunities now for graduate jobs.
The Culture
Hard being in an office outside London, but made the most of it.
