    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There was a fdantastic intern network with over 200 of us working here! I developed some of my closest friends here and have met so many people who I never met from my Univeristy before!

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Luckily I loved at home which was only about 45 mins on the tube. Disney is in Hammersmith which is Zone 2 (not quite central) the cost is average priced but it depends where you go! Some places are cheap but others can be quite expensive!

    2/5

    4/5

  • Other than what we organised oursleves, Disney didnt provide any outside parties/oppurtuninites for us to socialise outside of work.
