The Role
The Walt Disney company is such a great company to work for.
My colleagues were so welcoming when I first started and so sad to see me go - I will definitely keep in contact with them.
My manager and supervisior were brilliant - they always helped if I was stuck. I felt like I could go ask them questions whenever I needed.
The balance was great - I was always busy but a good busy and the work I did was so balanced as well.
I was given a lot of responsibility which really made me feel like a valid member of the team. I really didn't feel like an intern.
I have learnt so much about the field of work I want to go into and about the people in it. I feel that I could go into any job now and be confident in what I can do.
The Company
There is always so many fun things happening in the office and everyone was always so chatty and friendly.
Brilliantly - Disney offer such a good intern programme and I suppose that is why they take on over 100 interns.
Disney offered me so many opportunities that will really aid me for the future, as well as contacts which I can use in the future.

The company have already spoken about me coming back.
The Culture
There is a social commitee organised by Disney made up of interns who run events and socials and even lunch together.
I lived at home so it was cheap although travel was expensive. In terms of the area - it is London so will always be expensive
It's london!
Including clubs and socials!
