    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I really enjoyed my work placement more for the people that I met whilst on the scheme rather than the work itself

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt very valued from my team especially on the valuation team who were always fun and talkative. However many of the senior male colleagues weren't very approachable or welcoming

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • the guidance was good

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was busiest during the morning and it would tail off usually mid afternoon

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a reasonable responsibility but understandably there was only a limit to what I could be given

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • this internship has made me realise that I potentially would like to go in a different direction than I had previously thought I wanted to with regards to studying a masters course and therefore am glad I have taken part

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • within my team it was very chilled and everyone was very chatty but did work, the rest of the office except for some of the graduates and younger colleagues kept to themselves

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • the placement could have been better organised in the sense a scheduled timetable, and specific tasks each day within different sectors of the office. felt a bit random and not thought about at times

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I did feel like I was invested in but I felt that unless you were in the London office then you didn't get as much of a investment.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events
    4/5

    • I would really enjoy to be part of savills in the future

    4/5

    • the Social scene was very good

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • As I lived in the city for uni the social and living costs were no more than had already been paying
