Hi - Can someone at Disney refer me? I’m a program manager at Amazon that manages catalog data improvement programs. I’ve wanted to move closer to metadata governance and this role in Burbank seems perfect. Thanks in advance!
Very helpful
Just know that Disney will not pay you as good as Amazon.
Note that Disney and ABC have interesting practices... No sponsorship. And you are right in that it is "who you know", as the folks I know at Disney got there because they were consultants that networked while inside or were referrals from existing employees.
Disney is well known for firing American workers and replacing them with employees of WITCH companies (that they have to train). I guess that is how they get around sponsorship. See: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff-at-disney-train-foreign-replacements.html My spouse worked at NatGeo that was bought by Fox and then by Disney. Fox treated the tech workers well and Disney fired 90% of them this year. I'd think twice before joining DIsney.
All of the tech people I work with made it through all the layoffs. Our contractors all got cut. So...not true.
I got in by being a consultant first. Not sure if DSS is different but unless you know the hiring manager personally, there’s no system we can look in to refer someone or even find more info than what’s already in the public post.
You know the point of Blind is to remain anonymous.
Yes but I see people asking for referrals on blind a lot so I figure I’ll give it a try
Your better off using LinkedIn with your connections. Good luck.
