    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Thought it was really well structured. Throughout the 4 weeks, there are talks on the different sectors of property, grad nights out, and tours around the city. All these helped me understand the company, and get the most out of my time here.

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

    • My Mentor was always on hand to help me out if I got stuck and once I had done a piece of work, we would go over it, checking what I had done, and where it could be improved for next time.

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • I felt I got a good insight into what job I could have here. I would have liked to have gone on more site visits or client meetings, however August is a quiet month for the team and therefore I was unable to go out as much as I would have liked.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • I think it did. Obviously I was only able to experience one team and a few of the social events that Savills puts on, however it did give a taster of what the Company was about and how they work hard to acheive the best, but also take time to get to know each other, to create a better atmosphere within the office.
