Working at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA: 22 Employee Reviews

QA Lead

"The team I was a part of is amazing and talented. The company provided good workspace, and equipment needs to complete my task. Though compensation was a little low and the ability to move up is very competitive. The teams and co-workers make the experience worthwhile. Also seeing the occasional celebrity is a nice perk."
