Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend L'Oreal to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to L'Oreal
I would say having a true passion to learn and understand the industry is key. Everything else within the role will then slots into place and you will understand the way a corporate company works. Also read about your job role and understand how the different functions support your function is also key.
