The Role
I really enjoyed it, eveyone was really friendly.
Everyone took time out of there day to talk to me, it never seemed liked a chore for them.
They were great! They would always sit down with me and go through what I wasn meant to do thoroughly! Then afterwards we went through it again to see where it could be improved!
The beginning of the placement was a lot quiter mainly because I was getting grips to the work but as I shoed I had the skills I was given more responsibility.
A lot, I was working on some key projects towards the end, which my superiors were taking into meetings with clients!
It perhaps did not assist my degree as I am doing a non cognate degree, but it further reinforced my interest in property.
The Company
There was a fun atmosphere but also a good work ethic.
Really well, everything seemed to run smoothly. There were lots of talks by different departments which were to be taken advantage of.
They were very supportive, the mid placement review was especially helpful and if you had any problems someone who could help you were just an email/phone call away.

Company Parties/Events
I would love to work for Savills, a really good atmoshpere and work which I have thoroughly enjoyed!
The Culture
We often had drinks after work, and a lot of us had lunch together from my office. When it finally got sunny the parks which surrounded the office were taken advantange of.
It is London so expensive, but Savills often supplied some drinks to start so it was never too expensive. Meal deals kept the costs down!
Good atmosphere.
The sun did deplete opportunities, but you could go to a property auction!
