Pros

Juniors and interns are fantastic and bring energy/solidarity to the grueling time there

Cons

Specifically applies to Disney+. Left after less than a year because of how chaotic it was. Management and seniors feel very high up and unreachable. Huge hierarchy and red tape around everything makes it difficult to feel like a part of the company. Barely any room for progression due to how overworked each person is, which is not helped by how the processes for everything are messy. Very US-centere meaning no strategy, planning, and decisions are being made even in the London EMEA office. Not to mention pay is not only below industry standard but also just general workload standard. Highly political and beurocratic. Find somewhere else. There is no magic in corporate disney.

Pros

They offer really great opportunities to connect with various departments to discuss what their role is like at the parks, their path into their role etc. If you put in the effort for networking and use your free time for the courses/sessions that Disney Programs provides then you can make really great and beneficial connections for a future career at Disney. This is a great way to experience a career at Disney with everything “handled” for you (housing, transportation, you’re close to food options, you have access to parks etc) for someone who wants to try it out without the commitment of changing their whole life to fully move to Florida.

Cons

Being an intern program you don’t have any control over your own schedule. I attended the program after graduation and am very glad I did this as in my opinion it would have been difficult to keep up with college course loads on top of your work schedule AND being able to take advantage of all the “extra” learning opportunities (which in my opinion make or break if this program is worth it for you). You’ll likely be working long shifts, non consecutive and non consistent days off, and most likely will be late nights not typical day shifts (2pm - 12am etc).
