The interview process felt pretty intense, involving a bunch of interviews and some written tasks. They gave us an office tour, which was neat, but seeing the controls room was a bit of a downer with everyone crammed in there. It seems like a decent place to work for a few years, but maybe not a long-term career spot. It's a good place to stop for a bit, but not a forever job.

The interview process was quite nice. I interviewed for 3 different intern positions, and they all had a similar process. First, a recruiter from Disney would do a phone screening. Then, there was the first interview, which was usually 30 minutes long. For two of the positions, that was it before they made a decision. But for the third position, it was a bit longer, with 3 more 30-minute interviews after the first one. So, the number of interviews can differ depending on the role. It's the same for how long it takes to hear back. For one role, the interview went really well, and I got an offer two days later. I accepted that one before hearing from the others, but one of them mentioned they'd send decisions in 2-3 weeks after the interview. So yeah, the timing for hearing back can vary.
