    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed working in my team. The atmosphere of the team and the company itself was amazing! Everybody was so friendly, nice and supportive. It was noticeable how Savills really tries to value every single employee including us, the summer students.

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

    • Everybody took care of me. We would always have a chat to check on each other, they will always ask if there could be anything for them to help me. Literally LOVED the team.

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

    • As I have said, everybody is so supportive. Within a month, which is quite a short period, they tried to give me an insight of every aspect in the team. I very much enjoyed it.

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

    • I was quite busy, but it is also because personally, I like working rather than spending time doing nothing. So whenever I am done I would go ask if there could be any help I could do.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was doing real on-going projects for the whole time during my placement. Also had to do some tasks which I had to do it myself as an individual, rather than helping the others.

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

    • My excel, paying attention to the details, the importance of keeping data or information up to date, organization skills have accelerated. It may not be relevant to what I am studying, but would definitely be beneficial for me in the future.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • As I said previously, lovely, kind, friendly, supportive; any positive words would do. Nothing negative.

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

    • Very well, I heard my team members had been doing meetings and discussed what tasks they would want me to experience before I started my placement. This just shows how much effort and care they were giving to me.

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

    • There were departmental talks, social event such as lunches, drinks, etc going on during my placement. They really wanted us to experience fully about Savills, and were also emphasizing themselves on the importance of investing in employees.

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

    • Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very appealing. Especially for those who do not visa and are interested in property, I would STRONGLY recommend to apply Savills graduate scheme.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

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

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

    5/5
