I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walt Disney Company (Burbank, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
The application process took about 1 month and it's based on luck. You'll first apply and then a recruiter might open your application and decide if they want to send your resumé to the hiring manager. You can be qualified for the job and ace the interview, but if a intern, receptionist, or someone with connections at Disney applies for the position you're out of luck. But that goes for the same at Universal and Warner Bros. as well...
Timely communication, friendly and professional. Applied through system, received a personalized response and meeting invite. Zoom interview included intro questions and then salary, location, work etc that was transparent and informative.
