L'Oréal Grad Scheme interview questions

Got an automatic thank you for submitting my online test after applying for a grad role even though I had not completed one. When I enquired about this it turned out they took the scores from placement application from nearly 2 years prior, and I was told they believe you can only develop fully over 2 years. This was really disheartening as the role sounded amazing, and I personally believe that completing a placement year had definitely allowed me to improve and grow as an individual. Would apply again in the future as the company does seem like a great space for early talent, but I hope this can be changed in the future.
