    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very appealing - L'Oreal has proven it is a company that invests in its employees, and one where its employees learn quickly and are trusted from the get go with managing large projects independently

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • Yes, weekly intern drinks as well as team drinks. There are also many sporting clubs you can get involved in. Weekly social events organised - from dinners to going out

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • £60 per week - it is not cheap as your are in London, I commuted from home so saved a lot of money on rent, but paid around £7 a day on transport. However the canteen is very affordable, and all work-organised drinks/lunches paid for. However things your organised informally with colleges you will need to pay London prices for food/drinks

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Good if you want to go, but at the same time, if clubbing is not your thing you are not alienated from not going

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Sports events, yoga, drinks, weekly dinners - the company provides a plethora of opportunities to socialise with you team and the company at large outside of the office

    5/5
