I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Agency recruiter contacted me and set up initial conversation with hiring manager. Subsequently had technical phone screen with a developer. Called in for onsite technical interview consisting of 3-4 rounds, including deva and hiring manager (also technical). Called back to meet with another manager.
Interview atmosphere was mostly friendly and cooperative, rather than adversarial or trying to show you how dumb you are. Interviewer questions seemed well thought out (good preparation).

Question 1
Don'recall any especially difficult or unexpected, but was asked typical questions about reversing strings, sorting structures, etc. Also got asked about data caching concepts, and probably basic SQL (don't recall).
I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (Buenos Aires)

First a quick call by phone. They did some questions about my work experience and also about a disney character. Then a technical challenge in hacker rank. This technical challenge was to be resolved with typescript.
