The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Merlin Entertainments in May 2021
Interview
It was a simple process. Spoke to HR during a phone screen then had a phone interview with a hiring manager where I disclosed I was pregnant. (Trying to be transparent and honest.) Even though the conversation went well, the next day I was declined from both jobs I had applied to within a few hours of each other leaving me to feel like they didn’t want to even give a pregnant woman a chance.
After a couple of months since the interview, I found the person they hired on LinkedIn who had much less experience than I offered and it felt like a slap in the face.
It did not seem like a fair process and I felt discriminated against for being an expectant mother.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Merlin Entertainments (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
Found the position on Linkedin and was contacted a month later by a recruiter for a 30-minute phone screening. Recruiter was extremely nice, professional, and caring with sending me text updates about my second round interview with the Marketing Director a few days later. The second interview went well but I guess not well enough? Was never contacted again after the 2nd interview and had to reach out to the recruiter for any updates. The next day, I was sent an email saying I didn't get the position which I feel I never would've gotten if I didn't contact them for an update.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Merlin Entertainments (Orlando, FL) in Jun 2016
Interview
Part of a job fair. Long wait with too few interviewers. Informational video was repetitive and more irritating that helpful. Interviewers were personable. Not as well organized as would have liked.
