    The Role

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

    • I have thoroughly enjoyed my 12 months with L'Oreal. The culture, people and tasks were fantastic and I would thoroughly recommend the intern scheme to any students looking to complete a placement year.

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

    • My colleagues welcomed me completely with open arms into their team and were friendly, welcoming and always willing to help and support whenever I had a query or issue. I regularly felt like a permanent member of staff rather than an intern, again the amazing culture at L'Oreal makes this possible.

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

    • I had regular weekly catch ups with my line manager in order to provide me with feedback, guidance as well as constructive comments on where and how to improve. I also received mid and final year reviews to assess my performance throughout the year as well as set targets on where to improve.

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

    • I was afforded a great number of tasks and responsibilities that covered a wide area of responsibility, therefore I was consistently busy on a daily basis with several tasks that needed to be completed but at the same time maintaining a healthy work/life balance.

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

    • I was given a great deal of autonomy and responsibility during my placement ranging from full responsibility and autonomy on certain projects and tasks, which allowed me to develop my project management skills and have end-to-end responsibility of projects.

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

    • As I am looking to complete my dissertation in occupational psychology, working in a corporate environment for the past twelve months has really helped me develop important skills and experiences required to excel and thrive during my final year of university

    5/5

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

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

    • It can be expensive living in London, however the Graduate team creates a facebook group prior to starting, allowing interns to arrange house/flat shares to reduce living costs.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London is a great place to live! There's events, concerts, theatres and sporting events happening every day!
