The Role
my internship at LOreal was really insightful in many ways. I was given so much responsibility and able to really add value.
My colleagues always made me feel welcome and asked my opinion on key projects
both HR and my manager were very supportive throughout my internship. My manager put in weekly catch ups to help with my development and HR organised a intern training academy which consisted of several different trainings.
extremely busy! LOreal is a very challenging environment but that pushes you outside your comfort zone which is exactly what i wanted from a job
I managed several key projects throughout my placement including product launches which included designing gift box sets, educating our beauty advisors through product packs
the intern training academy was really useful as it focused on prioritisation, inbox training and really helped me develop in my role so i was more organised.
The Company
it is an extremely fun environment! Everyone loves to go for a coffee for a quick 15 min catch up to talk about business updates or generally find out how that particular brand is doing. It is also super friendly.
really well organised - we had an induction day at the start of my internship so i got to meet people from the business but also other interns.
the intern training academy really helped my development but also i have a review form which i had t o follow to meet my objectives within the role
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Travel loan
i didnt get onto the MT scheme which was disappointing but I know that HR have put me on a pipeline so if any other roles come up, they will contact me.
The Culture
HR organised a pre internship social where we could meet old interns and new interns. It was a sports day in Hyde Park! We also have something called Bar 255 which happens at the end of every month. This was great way to socialise with colleagues and fellow interns.
london is expensive but it was all relative and LOreal offered a good salary to help support me. they also provided me with a loan for my travel. The social scene was fun in Hammersmith, a lot of different pubs and restaurants and a little cheaper than going central!
lots of pubs which was great as I prefer that to clubs.
definitely! we had several sport teams, i was a part of the handball team. there was also yoga on a wednesday which was in the head offfice!
