Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Really nice people throughout the company. People understood you were an intern and showed patience for grow into the role and if there were any questions everyone was very supportive whenever they could be. A lot of opportunity to try new things but with a big company there are times where people are hard to track down or processes make things complicated to get done.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend L'Oreal to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to L'Oreal
Try to learn more about the roles you're interested in from former interns as they can be quite different from where you were expecting to end up from your initial application. Then if things do go well and you have the job try to be active, I had limitations because of the pandemic but try to get involved in things earlier and settle on what interests you.
