Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involved helping with the design the in-salon merchandising for the brands within PPD as well as supporting with category insights and data analysis.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given the opportunity to completely lead a launch in my division. This meant my internship was fast-paced and challenging, allowing me to develop my professional skills hugely. Despite this, i still received support were necessary, meaning the amount of responsibility wasn't too overwhelming.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture is very social. The huge network of interns means are lots of opportunities to meet other people your age and there are events throughout the year to encourage this. There are also many opportunities to socialize more widely, with your team but also your division. However, there is also a strong culture of hard work & sometimes long hours. It can also be a fast paced environment so this is something to consider!

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend L'Oreal to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to L'Oreal
As i mentioned previously, there is a culture of very hard work. You have to be self-motivated and enjoy a fast-paced environment. You will definitely be pushed to challenge yourself and this is why it's so great for your development - if you're worried about an internship where you're just fetching the coffee's that is definitely not the case at L'Oreal! You get significant responsibility in your role and will be doing meaningful work throughout the year - and will come out of it with some really strong skills.
