Pros

Meritocratic environment - if you are a great performer your career will fly 'Can-do' attitude - very solutions focused Networked environment - you can get decisions made very quickly Exciting environment - hundreds of launches every year Not proceedural - you have a lot of room to make decisions and stretch the boundaries of your role Passionate people - creates an inspiring environment

Cons

Long hours - but this is improving with strategies like summer working hours (finishing at 3pm on Fridays) If you don't enjoy a highly changeable and fast moving environment - L'Oreal may not be a good choice as an employer - you need to love change and be very flexible Communication is really important - you cannot rely on emails to build relationships - you have to build networks to get the best results

Very competitive between depts, and very heavy workload. Even recreational activities are done with a mindset to win, win, win.

Pros

A great place to start a career, it is a very young environment. There are a lot of opportunities for networking and you can learn a lot about the consumer products industry. There are also nice benefits and good working hours. There are opportunities to move around within the company as well.

Cons

The salaries could be higher. Since it is a French company, most decisions and ideas come out of France, it would be nice if more innovation came from the US labs. There also seems to be a high turnover rate for many positions.
