    About You

  • I enjoyed my spring insight at L'Oreal a lot. The week was very well planned out and I learned a great deal about the company and the processes involved within it.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • I received a lot of guidance and support during the insight. I had the opportunity to shadow interns and see their daily responsibilities and activities.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • During the insight we received powerpoint, prezi and excel training, which I believe will be extremely helpful for my degree. I also had the chance to see what some of the marketing interns do although I was actually in a different function and I believe this will be helpful for my marketing courses.
