The loop lasted about 3 hours, including a lunch segment.

I met with:

• A current engineering manager
• Two engineers
• Another engineering manager
• A director of program management

It seemed very positive, and my answers were well received. However, I was surprised at the lack of technical questions.

There was zero programming or whiteboarding, maybe a bit of design, but almost entirely situational questions. While situational questions are important, this was surprising.

I'd had one 30-minute coffee chat with the actual hiring manager. I was then invited for the loop after a few weeks had passed.

I left the loop thinking I'd surely got the job. I was surprised when the recruiter did not respond with any feedback. I still haven't received any, either positive or negative. The interview was over two months ago now.

It was good practice, I suppose, but that's all I can say about it.

The company seems very disorganized.

If you're not a good fit, a company will usually tell you right away, even end the loop early. I was later told that Disney prefers to contract out first. If that's the case, why post and recruit FTEs?

I may have diagrammed the stack of my current application voluntarily. I don't remember.

I was not challenged with any substantive technical questions.
