    The Role

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

    • I enjoyed the experience and meeting new people, however a year spent doing the exact same job role became rather boring.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt like my colleagues valued me quite a lot

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager had an unrelated job role, therefore their support was minimal. However the other teams I had worked with were really supportive.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was always busy working 9-5, sometimes even later. Interns at L'Oreal are given a lot more responsibility than expected.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility, often teams relied on my support to launch new products

    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 learned and developed a wide variety of skills while working, some vocational skills and some internal personal skills.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The atmosphere is often tense, with many of the other colleagues panicking under immense pressure. occasionally the atmosphere was lively, often on a Friday.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • L'Oreal isn't the most organised business as it is such a large corporation. For example, the handover week for need interns is organised during the same week as the visit from the ceo.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • There is no special training, unless compulsory online workshops that teach you how to sit in your chair count as special training.

    1/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    1/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The company is in a good location in London which makes it appealing, however it is not the work place for me.

    1/5

    The Culture

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

    • There were occasional social events, however they could be rather dull

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • very expensive, the monthly wage alone was not enough to live comfortably.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife was very good, however very expensive

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

    • Being in London there are options to do anything, you just have to look for what you want.
