Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I was interviewed in person.
Things seemed to go okay, so I was interested to hear back.
However, after the interview, I was never contacted by anyone at Disney again. I can live with not getting the job, but for them to not have the courtesy to let me know was just plain unprofessional.
My advice is to look elsewhere for a job where you will be treated with more respect.

Disney parks and resorts, an online, politically driven, and motivated organization

Pros: Disney perks, decent healthcare coverage.
Cons: Politics, Politics, Politics!
WPDRO (Parks and Resorts Online) is full of political games, especially at the top, and it has been getting worse as they increase hiring. It's all about kissing xxx.
A very poorly managed organization from any angle, pretty much. If you are thinking about working there, then let me help you: Don't!
Google and others are 100 times better than these guys. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time!

Not as magic as being a customer

Pros: Good resources, good pay, and lots of potentially interesting projects.
Cons: Many of the interesting projects did not come to fruition. A lot of executive churn led to many "new initiatives," resulting in a loss of mission at times. The department changed its name three times in my four years as an employee, and we had three CTOs during that period.
