The Role
Had a variety of projects to work on in a friendly and welcoming team.
They were great to have around as we all had a laugh but if you needed help then they were always there too.
Great manager, who was very supportive and understanding.
Had lots of things to do on different projects which allowed me to experience all the systems that Disney used.
As the placement progressed and I gained more confidence with what I was testing, I was able to handle most of the testing responsibilities for a particular project.
The skills were very helpful during my final year, and I can also use them to move into a career in testing in the future.
The Company
There were quiet days as expected, but most of the time the team that I worked in were a lively bunch and didn't let a day pass without it being eventful.
Everything was organised.
I was given the opportunity to go on personal development courses and talks by senior managers and directors.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events

Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
Got my job back over the summer.
The Culture
There were nights out and birthday parties on most weeks.
Lived at home as it was quite close to my house, but there are plenty of restaurants and a bars from fast food places to nice restaurants.
Had to go into central London which took about 20mins.
There were volunteer schemes and so other activities that you could get involved with.
