I applied online. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (Vancouver, BC) in Dec 2025
Interview
1) Quick initial screening, 2) Senior HR, 3) Technical discussion about previous work, 4) Final round (5 meetings, including technical assessments, coding, and meet & greet with the team).
The process lasted about 2.5 months between the first initial screening and the last interview, 3.5 months if we count the time since I submitted my application.
It was an overall pleasant experience, and I got to know the team better, both in terms of their backgrounds and the work they do. The interactions with the recruiter coordinating the process seemed genuine, which was very appreciated. After the final round, I was given some feedback that, although positive, was not informative. It felt more like an attempt from them to end things on a good note.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you see ML and AI being integrated to the (physical) modelling aspects of our work?
I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (Seattle, WA)
Interview
HR phone call then behavioral with team lead. Had 1 leetcode question after and a culture fit interview after. It was very straightforward and they were very communicative about what the job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Coding interview was actually very chill: could use any language to solve 2 problems. Mostly just talked through ideas, no coderpad or similar software. Both problems were fairly similar, involving looping an array and transforming it, avoiding repetition or inefficiency.
I applied online. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
This was honestly such a fast and great interview experience.
I had an initial screening (video interview) with the recruiter, then a video interview with my hiring manager, an in-person technical interview at the office, and a final video interview with the director of engineering. Overall, everyone was very kind and there weren't any "gotcha" questions during the technical interview. They asked questions that were relevant to what I would be doing and they were also understanding that I might have not known everything.
I applied in February and completed all of the interviews in 3-4 weeks and I moved very quickly early in the process, so the wait to hear back was long about another 3-4 weeks.
And I got the offer! My recruiter advocated a ton for me and Im super excited to join my team.
