The Role
Loved it!
I was included and given important tasks.
Everyone was friendly and explained tasks clearly.
Several days where there was little to do. But this was not the fault of my team.
Worked on actual tasks as a member of the team.
HOpe to go into property as a career. The skills will help me with my RICS masters
The Company
Serious working atmosphere but plenty of banter too.
Very impressive. Far better than other internships I've dome.
Made sure I was involved and understood everything where possible.
Company Parties/Events
WOuld LOVE to work for Savills.
The Culture
Lots of social time, few parties, plenty of drinking!
I lived with my sister and was able to walk to and from work. I know others found it expensive though.
Went out a fair bit with friends after work. Plenty on.
Was able to continuing playing sport throughout the internship and even got a day off to play in a tournament.
