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

    • Despite being in a difficult situation, my management really supported me and my placement. I could tell that my interests were definitely being considered and planned for.

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

    • Could've been challenged a bit more but again, this is due to the unique situation my particular team was in at the time.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was put in charge of running L'Oréal Paris UK's social media channels singlehandedly - that's alot of responsibility.

    The Company

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

    • People definitely know to have a good time here and the atmosphere is always buzzing

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

    • Again, my particular internship was a bit different due to the team dynamics. This meant that the internship wasn't very well organised.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • 3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • This is a bit difficult. If you're a masters student/have work experience I might look elsewhere. Their interns are basically fed onto the management trainee programme which is mainly to give recent grads with no experience some business experience before making them operational. This means that people can be on the MT programme for over a year and, for people with more experience, it can be a step down.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yup - very friendly and always going out.

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

    • Well it's London.

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

    • Don't really go out in the area but lots of people do.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • 4/5
