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.
Can someone help me with what to expect in the bar raiser round at Disney+Hotstar? Thanks. #tech #hotstar #disney #interviews #interview
I know Disney recently raised comp on their tech teams to be more competitive. I don’t know if the numbers on levelsfyi are accurate anymore. Can anyone at #disney (or anyone who’s gotten an offer recently) provide some comp data for the various PM levels?

Netflix boast a about 200mil user while disney+ have 130mil user. Yet netflix engineering is paid double of disney according to levelfyi, do you anticipate disney to run into scalability or any tech problem in the future until they raise pay and attract top talent?
I'm happy the engineers are paid in cash, but what is going on with this service. Did they just start raising rates and now they have Disney, Amazon, HBO, and Paramount just ripping customers away? #tech
I am at 10 YOE all Amazon. Disney offered me Staff (senior++/lead), ~320TC. Potential cliff after 3 years. Me and my family love Disney so the perks are actually pretty cool. Project is super interesting, but not a lot of new tech to me (AWS). Don't know anyone there. I'm not likely to see a promo ...Read more

So that once the pandemic is over , due to the pent up demand from all these months, I am hoping that they would gain lot of money and hence better stock price. Update: Aug 6th . Stock popped today . i...Read more
Hello: Looking for any and all feedback about what it’s like to work at Disney right now (specifically in tech at DMED).

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
Today: L5 iOS at Block. TC about 248k. Offer was for 300k total but stock has only dropped since I joined. My team has gotten pretty toxic amid the Block layoffs and reorgs; manager can't really do anything about it. Day to day sucks and it's affecting my mental health. Working here feels like sacri...Read more

This post is for anyone working at Apple TV or anyone in the TV industry (Netflix, Hulu, Disney, etc.).
