I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (Lake Buena Vista, FL) in Sep 2016
Interview
Heard back from the recruiter just a couple of days after I applied.
Our phone interview went extremely well. The recruiter explained the position thoroughly and really spoke to the company culture and values. We left off with the recruiter telling me I was a strong candidate and was going to pass my resume along to the hiring manager and hopefully get back to me to schedule something later on in the week (it was a Monday).
Friday came and I hadn't heard a word. I sent a friendly follow-up reminder just to reiterate my interest and if there was any update about the next step. No reply. I emailed again exactly one week later. Again no reply. Finally, I sent a third follow-up the following Wednesday, and got a reply with just, "Still no update." Two days later, I received one of those automatic rejection emails. I even sent another email after this to once again thank the recruiter. NO REPLY!
It's just so sad that some recruiters are able to treat candidates poorly just because they have all the leverage.
Interview process was a recruiter screen, hiring manager interview, Excel test, and panel final round with 3 other people. Process took about a month from start to finish, A week per interview stage.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company in Nov 2023
Interview
Slow moving process and ultimately ghosted. Submitted application end of month 1. Had first screener call end of month 2. In month 3, had first round interview with manager plus one excel test to be completed in one hours. In month 4, I had 3 back to back interviews and one final interview in the same week. The morning I received the final interview invite, the recruiter wanted me to complete the interview same-day. It's now month 6 and no word after a few follow up emails. Great people but poor process and bad look for the company to offer no decision after all of that.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company in Aug 2022
Interview
There is initially a call with the Recruiter. Once the recruiter identifies if you're a good fit for the role, there is an interview with the hiring manager. If the hiring manager thinks you're a strong candidate, there is an interview with another finance manager on the team. The last interview is with the VP of finance. After two weeks with no communication from Disney, I reached out to the recruiter to see if management came to a decision. The recruiter has not responded and it has been about three months since my last interview. I think it was very unprofessional for the company to interview me and not provide me with a courtesy email saying they went another direction. I expected more from Disney given their reputation.
