Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of autonomy from day 1. Many projects were given to me to lead. We would discuss the frame at the start of the year alongside our personal professional goals and I was given one section of the frame to work on and make my own.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The division I was working in had a strong helpful culture, everybody was happy to network and help the interns. My immediate team were also great. I would have liked to have more of a welcome from my function as not many people made an effort with all of the interns.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend L'Oreal to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to L'Oreal
Network -speak to everybody you can. There are so many opportunities for you to make friends/ professional connections use them.
Also, the internship is yours to take what you want out of it. Don't get stuck doing jobs that aren't using your potential just because you are an intern.
