    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed the variety of challenges within the placement and the chance to work on tasks that I felt passionately about such as Fashion Week.

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

    • It wasn't always clear how well you did after completing a project. I thought that our mid year review was very good but until then I didn't really know how well I was doing and would have liked more feedback so I could have improved skills earlier on.

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

    • I was given lots of support from my team and they were all very friendly. However, my boss was under huge amounts of pressure and this sometimes meant that we could have had additional support.

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

    • I always had lots of tasks to get on with and never had a day where I was stuck with what to do.

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

    • A lot, which was great as it really pushed us and made me a better worker.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I feel so much more prepared for work after university and really think all my skills learnt are transferable.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Friendly, busy and sometimes stressed.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I believe I had an excellent boss so it was very organised due to her input, but I feel some aspects of the actual placement were not. We had a social sec that left within 3 months and then didn't get replaced until a few months before the placement ended. I felt that this meant the interns were not as close.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I went on extra courses and team development sessions that were all valuable.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

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

    • L'Oreal is an exciting place to work for, however due to the fact that they are behind digitally is offputting.

    3/5

    The Culture

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

    • Our team with interns included were very social but the wider group of interns were not as social due to minimum activities organised by the company

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

    • Very very expensive! I still relied on my parents to give me some money each week which I would prefer not to do. If it wasn't paid then I couldn't have had this opportunity.

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

    • Very good.

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

    • This wasn't highlighted to us unless our team organised something.
