Experience & Company Culture

How is the support you receive?
3/5
in valuation - very good. I have a great supervisor and counsellor who have assisted me in preparing for my APC. the directors are great at explaining and supporting through instructions.
However, my old team I didn't feel I had the same support as a fixed graduate. I felt quite isolated. and my progression was minimal. Some directors were more supportive than others.
How is your work-life balance?
4/5
sometimes busier than usual, but thats to be expected.
What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
4/5
How would you rate Savills initiatives when it comes to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility?
5/5
How would you rate Savills CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives?
4/5
more could be done for environmental initiatives - how we are individuals can do more - recycling properly ! easy one to change. and with the emergence of AI, there should be more information on the environmental impact of AI - it uses far more energy that regular searches.
