Summer intern - development services at Savills

Really enjoyed my internship, everyone was friendly and I enjoyed the work. There wasn't quite enough to do at the beginning but once I proved that I was competent I was given plenty to do and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be applying for the graduate scheme.

I felt I was valued and that they appreciated the work I was doing. It took longer than hoped to get to know them simply because I was sat at a desk on my own with my back to them but this couln't really be helped as that's where the spare seat was, but once I had settled in they were friendly and I enjoyed their company, going for drinks with them on several occasions.

Guidance and support was good. We had mid-placement interviews and final reviews. My team gave me work to do and told me exactly what it was they wanted me to do and they were always approachable if I needed help. If we needed any other questions answering the person in charge of graduate HR would always help.

The work tended to be slightly sporadic. Overall the balance was okay but there were days when there was nothing for me to do and days where everyone in the team had work they wanted me to do at quite short notice but I understand that that's what the world of work is like and generally I was kept busy.

I was given quite a lot of responsibility. At first I wasn't but once I showed that I was competent I was given a lot and contributed directly to reports that went to clients and were important. My manager commented how much experience he had given me as he was pleased with my work.

They will assist enormously since I am very keen to pursue a career in property and am currently studying for the final year of a RICS accredited course.

The atmosphere was good, I enjoyed working in an open plan office.

Very well organised, we always knew where we should be and what we should be doing and outlook was used effectively.

It was hands on, learning on the job experience rather than training but this was good as this is what the world of work is like in reality. We could perhaps have done with a little more training at the beginning as all the interns came from very different backgrounds degree-wise and experience-wise so it was assumed that we knew some things that not all of us did.

I would very much like a job with the company and my feedback was very positive but it is extremely competitive with thousands of applicants for very few places.

Really good, we all got on well and there were things organised both through the company and by ourselves.

Very expensive.

Good but expensive.

Some socail events and a hockey match and I imagine even more if you were a full time employee.
