3.4/5
Savills entirely lived up to its stellar reputation as a fantastic graduate employer and internship offering. Not only was the work fulfilling and challenging, it created real value for Savills and this is something rarely experienced with internships - especially for a non-cognitive applicant. Overall, the internship was a great experience and I feel the HR team, deserve the vast array of accolades they earn.

However, every other member of the team were very welcoming and great individual representations of Savills' hiring criteria: enthusiastic, hard working, always willing and able to help. I will definitely keep in touch with my team.
The support that I received at Savills was nothing short of incredible. Very often would my supervisors be under intense pressure to deliver their own work loads and yet still devote vast periods of time to helping me with any issue or question that I had. The management were equally as good.
It is safe to say that Savills lived up to its work hard, play hard reputation. There was always something to be doing and to help with. This was exacerbated by Savills' open work culture which allowed for a tightly integrated transfers of ideas, favours with colleagues and tacit knowledge.
Despite my lack of a degree in property, from the beginning of the internship I was given real responsibility. If you are a good candidate for Savills and you thrive on pressure and love a challenge, then Savills is the place to be. Upon discussions with friends, interns for other big property firms had an inferior experience to mine in almost every way.
I have just finished my degree; however, when I apply to study a Masters in Real Estate Finance I know that the skills and knowledge I earned at Savills will be useful for this. The contacts I made there will also come in handy during my masters and future life.
