    The Company

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

    • The general atmosphere was extremely friendly and welcoming. All members of my team were approachable and friendly. It is a very good office to work in. The sense of team work is second to none at Savills, across teams, within teams and across departments or even regional offices.

    • The placement was very well organised.

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

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

    • 2/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
