Firmware Technical Lead Interview Experience - Glendale, California
August 1, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The interview process consisted of three rounds:
- A 30-minute Q&A with the recruiter to gather your strengths and see if you’re interested.
- Another 30-minute Q&A to assess your knowledge of basic control theory or process automation.
- A 1-hour interview with a panel of Mechanical, Electrical, and other engineering disciplines.
I thought all interviews went well. I even had a little demo to present my work.
However, I never heard back from the team after six business weeks of waiting and multiple follow-up emails. This was very unprofessional.

Pros: They use the newest and latest technology. There are so many groups in Disney that you can explore.
They give you a lot of perks, such as:
* Disneyland passes
* Good health coverage
* Education reimbursements
* Pretax child care and health care expenses deducted from your salary.
Cons: It is difficult to get a promotion. There are a lot of layoffs. Many groups within the company do not have managers, or they use people who are not qualified to be managers. This is because they do not think it is worth the money to hire real managers. The review process is daunting, and sometimes employees are not reviewed fairly. Human resources is useless if you want to fight your case.
