    The Role

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

    • Whilst L'Oreal is highly challenging and fast paced I have enjoyed the past year for a variety of different reasons such as the culture, the jobs and projects I have been part of and the exposure to high management which has been a huge benefit for me.

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

    • Like every company, you can sometimes feel lost under the work. However I do feel L'Oreal truly try to show interest, support and empowerment in all their members and I have felt valued by my time and part of the community since day 1.

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

    • To those that seek guidance and assistance there will always be somebody at L'Oreal who can help and support you in your attempt to reach a goal. Equally L'Oreal urge you to become independent and work on your problem solving skills. For me personally these are things that came as I naturally progressed in the job and gained a deeper learning about my role.

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

    • On a day to day basis I believe I am very busy and I have had to adapt my way of working in order to be efficient at L'Olreal, I do however feel this has taught me valuable life skills which will be a huge asset no matter what industry or obstacle I face.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Since day one I have been guided into becoming independent at L'Oreal and given a level of responsibility I never thought I would receive during a work placement. Some projects have seen me work on huge jobs in which I was in direct contact with our suppliers, customers and account holders.

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

    • My time at L'Oreal have given me incredible insight and skills which I believe will prove to be a huge asset in my future and University.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere within the office can change from day to day depending on what is happening in the business. However overall I feel the atmosphere in the office has been great, I feel L'Oreal try very hard to ensure that their employees are happy and enjoy coming to work.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • The intern community at L'Oreal is great and you fit in very easily when you start, The intern committee regularly organises social events for all the interns to attend and make the most of the social opportunities the city has to offer.
