Pros: - Free pizza on Fridays. - A lot of hours during the middle of making the game, so a lot of overtime pay. - The game is not too bad to play; it's kinda fun. - Some people they hire are genuinely good workers. - Some of the senior testers were awesome, but few of them. - Working with people from other parts of Disney Interactive, not in QA, was amazing. - It's awesome to tell people you work at Disney; everyone knows who Disney is.

Cons: If you're expecting to advance your career, prepare to constantly be a part of a popularity contest with work politics involved. If you're one of the Bros with Seniors and leads, you have a good chance of becoming a blue badge, non-contract employee. The higher bug count you have, the better it is, even if the quality of your bugs is very poor. If you have no opinion and can be completely controlled, you can work here. Suggestions are not welcome; do not be an individual. No benefits that regular employees get at all. Contract employees used to get free parking to Disneyland and free game figures if you worked on the game on the game's announce date, but that was all taken away. 10% discount from the Disney store. Disney makes billions every year; they can't even hook you up with a good discount. They say overtime is highly encouraged and optional; don't believe that for one second; they will cut you if you skip overtime. Management will promise a non-contract job to everyone, then cut the majority of the staff. Most of the staff get cut, even if they are good or do good work. If you are on the top for highest bug counts or suck up to the bosses, they won't cut you. Management and senior testers tell you not to be on your phone or not to be on your web browser, but as soon as you turn around, they are playing fantasy football, risk, or watching YouTube videos, not working, or are texting right at their desk. Because career advancement is slim to none, people are constantly having political and verbal battles throughout their contract, trying to scratch and claw their way into a position. Cuts come around August-September; you might work on contract for only 4-6 months.

Pros: Great modern facility with lots of parties and food. Pizza day, pie day, cake day, and an M&M machine. Arcade and game table on every floor. Lots of overtime available.

Cons: Infested with spiders due to imported plants. Many coworkers unfriendly and impersonal. Very low hourly pay. Disposable position with whole studios getting cut.

Pros: I got to work with some interesting people. Management took a hands-off approach to testing. We had a lot of ad hoc testing, as well as more focused tests. The odd hours of swing shifts made commuting easy. You get to test games made with Disney and Marvel IPs.

Cons: Your schedule will change constantly. Sometimes you will be working a 9am to 5pm, 5am to 1pm, or 2pm to 10pm with as little as 8 hours' notice. I have had my schedule change four times in a single week. They routinely let go of half their staff after every large game release, so chances are you will be working here for only a couple months, if not a couple weeks. They run their business like a bug farm. Quality doesn't really matter, and management keeps pushing for amount no matter how many bugs the testers report. Their high turnover and the fact that it's Disney lead to them hiring testers with little to no experience and outside of the game industry. You will be working with hardcore Disney fans and burnouts. Management played favorites constantly. It was obvious who they were grooming to keep and who they were letting go months before they did so. This hurt morale tremendously. Moderate crunch time.
