Okay company to work for if you’re high enough on the career ladder and okay with your position. Perks are good if you can take advantage by traveling or being close to the parks.
Toxic culture. Promo process is not fair, favoritism trumps merit. Too many politics. Leadership is nonexistent or a failure in some aspects.
I recently completed the hiring the process at DSS at the end of September and was informed on October 1st of a hiring freeze. I have been checking in with the recruiter every week or so, but have not heard of any changes. I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on if there is any inte...Read more

Hello, Does anybody have any insights? Recruiter ghosted me after final interview, bummer :( T.C: 250
Disney and its affiliates (eg ABC, ILM, etc) have been posting plenty of jobs over the last few months. I interviewed a while ago for a Disney job but have been essentially kept on hold for two months, saying thay they’re unsure about the role but I think there might be more to it. Does anyone know ...Read more
I am getting converted from a third party contractor to Project hire at Disney. What should be my expected hourly rate? This hire is for Sr BSA/product owner position. YOE: 10+ with Masters in MIS
Is the hiring freeze still on with no foreseeable end? I suppose the interviews have been went through months ago, then hiring freeze came up. I haven't received any update mail. Will it turn around?After all, hulu is my dream company.
I had an offer I’m about to sign with Disney streaming and Hulu, do you all think the hiring freeze will impact this area of the company?
I recently started a 6 month contract to hire role at DSS through a third party recruiter (has a reasonable reputation from searching). Since the jump was 50%+ in total compensation it felt like a no-brainer. According to the recruiter the rate of conversion has been 80-90% and can happen as early a...Read more
One of the Disney recruiter reached out to me for backend SWE on LinkedIn and I replied saying that I'm interested in the position also told that I would need a H1B transfer. Ever since then no response from the recruiter though I tried following up multiple times. Can someone from Disney/Hotstar re...Read more
Is this because Disney fired their employees and replaced them with H1B employees. I saw that this caught the eye of the government during last election. I know this is late to discuss, but I want to understand as Disney sits on my list of companies to work for.
I've been eyeing a Disney Streaming SWE job (Edit: Entry Level) in NYC. But I heard that it's close to impossible to get an interview with Disney's tech division if you don't have a CS degree (equivalent). Wondering how true this is? Background: Business degree, coding bootcamp graduate. Start-up e...Read more
Was interviewed for a role at Disney Hotstar and cleared 7 rounds (4 technical, 1 hiring manager, 2 bar raisers). HR never provided any feedback over the performance and after 7 rounds went into hibernation for 4 weeks now and is not answering to calls or emails? Wondering if there was something gro...Read more

So couple of months ago we (SiriusXM) got a new CTO from Disney and after he joined, people poured in from Disney and all got hired as either SVP, VP or Director (even though some got promotion just couple of months ago in Disney, so kinda double promotion for them). Though we have hiring freeze te...Read more
