If my experience with hiring at Disney is any indication of the internal processes then it is no wonder D+ is so full of bugs. Everyone I met was nice but the entire ordeal was way too drawn out and disorganized. Round one was a screening with a recruiter a week after applying. They asked me two questions about my resume and couldn't tell me anything about the job not already in the description. A week after this I was asked to send availability for round two with the hiring manager. This was scheduled about two weeks out. They gave me a lot of great information on the role and based on what they said I thought I'd be an ideal fit. They seemed to agree as a few days later I was asked to send availability for a technical screening. This is where it really started to go off the rails. I sent my availability and a week later was contacted with a message saying none of the times I gave worked so they wanted me to fit in a spot that did fit the interviewer. I agreed. The role I was interviewing for was supposedly to manage a development team that handled the mobile space, but the person giving the technical screen was a lead from data engineering who apparently didn't know the specifics about the job in question. All of the questions they asked were related to data challenges. Not one question about mobile. I guess I did well enough because a week later I was asked to schedule a behavioral. This also was scheduled a week out, putting the total time spent thus far at close to two months. The person who did this round should never have been allowed to conduct an interview. They were very clearly unprepared and seemed to be making up questions on the spot. Instead of giving me specific scenarios or targets they'd ask vague things like "Tell me how you manage people?" or "How do you talk to people?". More concerning still, when they asked what data I use to gauge success they seemed to have no idea what numbers I was talking about even though I mentioned several industry standard metrics. Then to make things worse they only gave me four minutes for my own questions while telling me they had a hard stop. It turned out that they couldn't answer anything because they not only had no interactions with the group that this job was open for but also had only been with the company for eight weeks. Literally every question I asked they shifted in their chair and said they didn't know because they were too new and didn't know what the job in question was focused on. A week after this round I received a generic rejection email saying they went with other candidates who more closely fit the requirements. I replied politely asking for feedback and heard nothing. Had I moved forward I would have had to do at least one more round in person. That would make six rounds total over nearly 2.5 months. It has also been several months since I was rejected and I have seen the role relisted on the company job portal twice. Between the bad hiring process, the frequent layoffs, the senior leadership changes, the increasing RTO push, and the lack of clarity in what they even wanted I don't think I'd bother applying again.
Multi-step process with first being a virtual interview with recruiter. Pleasant and direct. Were looking for an entry level candidate that had knowledge and some experience with job. Read the job description carefully and thoroughly.
Going through the interview process on a weekday in June, in their office and the experience was average, there were multiple stages for the interview and each of the reviewer is doing their job, no further comment on it
