Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

As my first office role I would have to say I don't have any other experience, as such it is difficult to compare. However, numerous social events for grads and placement students were put on, as well as great support from HR If it was required. I couldn't compliment Savills any higher for it's culture and atmosphere.
