Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The early career team at loreal are really supportive and i always felt that there was a training or something to develop us going on. My manager was also very supportive, we had weekly 1:1's to check in, she was respectful of my workload and wouldn't overburden me. The L'oreal group focus on yearly goals and quarterly checkins on those, which kept me accountable to my own development
