    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I really enjoyed the experience because it was different and I have never had a full time job before. I learnt a lot about Disney's technology infrastructure and this made it fun and exciting.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My colleagues were excellent mentors. They were there when I needed help or had any questions. They did not look down at me just because I was an intern,

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Everything I learnt was beneficial and it gave me a broader understanding of technoology applications in a real life organisation. All of this knowledge will help me on my final year project.
