I applied online. I interviewed at Disney+ Hotstar (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jun 2021
Interview
I got a call after around 3 weeks of applying for the position of Senior SDET.
I had the worst experience in my 5 years of being on both sides of the interview (interviewer & interviewee). The interviewer was in no mood to take the interview. He stopped for 2 minutes after asking each question in the beginning.
Then came the coding round. Just moments after explaining the question, he said, " I have to go for other interviews please code quickly".
Every time I start using some approach, he comes up with the statement that it is wrong.
Then we had a different opinion for some DS concepts which I tried to explain and he was like getting a ego hit.
Interview ended & I am happy that I didn't clear the interview of a toxic workplace.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Disney+ Hotstar
Interview
Screening Round > Coding Round > Design Round > Bar Raiser > HR Round.
Entire process was smooth with really supportive interviewer panel.
Focus was on technical skill and soft skills , with pair programming and design questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Disney+ Hotstar (Singapore) in Jun 2020
Interview
First round a call with the recruiter, talks big about their company as usual. Will tell you that they are at par with Facebook/Google in hiring process and going forward one should expect the interviews of similar standards. Will emphasize on not to prepare from leetcode and eventually end up asking from the same.
Second round is a algorithm test. The interviewer was good, had a collaborative session but I believe one should take the least amount of hints from the interviewer else they start to judge you and on the other hand you tend to get into a comfort zone not realizing that this may put a wrong impression.
I received a rejection email after some follow ups, but after getting to know from few friends who had also been interviewing with them and did well but didn't succeeded that the openings/positions might not be real.
