I applied through other source. I interviewed at L'Oréal (New York, NY) in May 2017
Interview
I wanted to be a part of L'Oreal very badly. I went through the Brandstorm competition. I won USA level and got in contact with some senior management. They put me in contact with R&D HR. First phone call was with HR. I had a great time talking to them about my passion, dreams, goals, and previous experience. Then I had a second phone call a week later with a manager from the tech group. Then they invited me on site. They flew me out from SF to NYC. I had an amazing day talking with everyone. There were 5 interviews that lasted ~4.5 hours. HR called me a few days later to get my feedback. Then a few days later, I got the call with the offer!
Overall, they were very helpful, very kind and understanding. I have met with a LOT of L'Oreal execs/teams/employees at this point because I also got to go to Paris for Brandstorm international finals. There's a lot of passion, enthusiasm, and genuine interest in finding student talent.
If you want to join L'Oreal after college/grad school, Brandstorm is a great way to do it.
