I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2015
Interview
Interviewed by 4 different people, starting with dev's and ending with development manager. Typical "technical" coding question, implement a stack. Those types of questions are no longer appropriate, when was the last time you had to implement a Stack collection from scratch. OO Design & decomposition questions are much better, but they only asked technical questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement a Stack. Last time I'd done that was around 1992, but I was still able to code this from memory. It was a stupid question, revealing nothing about my ability to solve problems and code solutions given that NO ONE EVER implements Stacks by hand anymore.
Second interview asked to implement a function that returns true/false if a binary tree is well constructed.
I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (Buenos Aires)
Interview
First a quick call by phone. They did some questions about my work experience and also about a disney character. Then a technical challenge in hacker rank. This technical challenge was to be resolved with typescript.

Implement a Set without using the Java APIs. No Collections or helper classes. They want to see you code like a Senior Software Engineer
