    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • A useful experience, but as I should have known the work itself is not exactly exciting. Lots of excel and data analysis.

    3/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Everyone was polite - never rude - but nevertheless sometimes colleagues would not show up to meetings etc

    2/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Good support was always available when requested.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • There was always work to do, even if it meant you had to be a bit proactive.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Some of the projects I worked on were central to the workings of any supply chain. They may go on to dictate how millions of pounds of stock are managed.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Excel and data analysis skills will always be useful, as will the experience of work life and the chance to give presentations to the team. Note: pretty much nothing in the way of formal/organised training.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • 3/5

  • 3/5

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

  • Sports and Social Club

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Was recommended for the grad scheme, but will need to pass another interview to get a place.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Great, vibrant, young office. There's also a great intern community given there is a committee that organises events.

    4/5

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

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • London!

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Not so much as organised by L'Oreal, but you just need to use some initative.

    4/5
