No Offer – Interviewed in White Plains, NY (US) Aug 2011 – Reviewed May 15, 2013 New
Interview Details Applied to this position online. Heard back probably 2 weeks later. First came a phone interview with HR which was very easy since I love Disney and knew not to screw this up. HR was incredibly friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Next was to set up an in-person interview with the VP and Hiring Manager (Sr. Digital Editor). VP was extremely nice and didn't ask me much except explain the company. SDE was pretty nice too. More to the point and asking me important questions which I answered very well. As I recall, I was the first interviewed so she said it would take a while. I followed up constantly in which I was told they were still looking, etc. After maybe two months HR called me and told me that they were still very interested they were just trying to "make some adjustments" to the dept and would be in touch. Never hear anything back again. A few months later, I learn that Disney Consumer Products was moving out to California and eliminating the White Plains office (where I wouldn't worked). I guess that explains that.

Interview Details Three Rounds. First got a call from HR, then the Manager and lastly got invited to the office. It was a very long process. The interview was pretty casual. Two analysts asked me to tell them about myself, some recent internship experiences, and whether I have experience related to Real Estate. They introduced what the job responsibility is and shared their work day.

Interview Details This review pertains to MBA hire in particular. Interview process took an entire day. Went through six interviewers during the in person interview. Prior to that, went through two rounds of interview. First with HR specialist, then a phone interview for the second round with two interviewers. Very few technical questions were asked, probably because the assumption is the candidate is qualified, but just looking for right fit.
Interview Question – Most difficult question was a mini case study question on market sizing. Most of the questions were behavioral questions that sought to find out how a potential candidate would fit in with the team. Answer Question
