Question 1
Questions pertaining to my management philosophy for both managing direct reports and senior management.
The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (New York, NY)
Interview
One phone screening, one phone interview, one in person interview.
2 of the 3 people I interviewed hadn't looked at my resume prior to my interview. It seemed they were only going through the motions. I later was declined however I learned from an inside source that they thought I was "too young". Lucky for them, they didn't put that in writing.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (Burbank, CA) in Mar 2008
Interview
You will talk to several individuals at a variety of levels. Find out, though, who really has the hiring power. It may not be your direct supervisor. Be energetic and friendly, but not fake. They like people who have a genuine like for Disney. Find out why the current opening is vacant and how long it's been posted internally. If it's a recent posting then you probably don't want to spend much time on pursuing it because they will look for internal candidates first. Be ready to talk about working in a matrix organization because the company is very matrixed, especially on the technology side.
