Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was easy, meeting with the higher ups is fun and casual. The last interview gives you a quiz so be prepared to sit and take a test on general knowledge of News and Sports. This is a fill in the blank. You need to know everything from current events to airport codes to sports teams and cities.

This was an intern role. We had a general question section, like 'Tell me more about yourself', 'What is your hobby?', 'Why this company?', 'What is your strengths and weaknesses?', and 'Tell me more about the job and why you think you deserve to be hired'. Then there was a technical screen where they asked to 'Describe your CCA'.

I applied online through the Disney Career page and I heard back about 2 weeks later from an HR rep. The HR rep conducted a phone interview which was pretty straight forward, mostly about your experience. Then one day later I heard back from the HR rep about coming in for an in person interview. That interview was a little more difficult but still not too bad, more questions about the show than about myself. I was offered the position that night.
