    The Role

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

    • Overall a really good placement with lots of responsibility and develops business skills.

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

    • Over time I became closer with my team and other colleagues.

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

    • There is a fantastic reviewing process where my manager gave me very strong feedback and what my strengths and weaknesses were.

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

    • Yes, I was kept very busy on a day to day basis.

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

    • This was the best aspect of the placement. They do give a lot of responsibility to interns due to the thorough application process as this lets them know you are very capable to handle it.

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

    • Again this was another strong part of the placement, as they 'throw you in at the deep end'. This really is the best way to learn things as you learn out of necessity. With the high levels of responsibility, you pick up skills that you would not gain exposure to in other companies.

    4/5

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It is a very reputable company to work for and looks great on the CV, and will develop you as an individual, but its important to be passionate about the area you work in.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The other interns were very social as there are quite a large number, which meant we did a lot of socialising at weekends and meeting up for lunches outside of work.

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

    • It is London so everything is generally expensive, but if you are sensible you can save a bit of money.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife is incredible because there are so many different options.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes there are different clubs within L'Oreal, however I did not join any.
