    The Company

    • At the month end period, it gets busy but as a L'oreal intern, there are many perks for us within the office and work life balance is on point!

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

    • Quite well organised for me personally as I had most of my logins ready, however, I was still restricted on some access due to IT work overload

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

    • We had Lunch and Learn sessions which I feel are good to see the other aspects of the company and not only the roles within your team
