The interview process was a two-step process. I first received a call from the QA Manager, which, according to the feedback, went very well.
I then got a second call from the QA Lead. The call went excellently.
Overall, the process was good, everything was straight to the point, and although I did not get the position, I thought everything went smooth and quick.

An 'Okay' Place To Work
Mobile Quality Assurance Tester • Current Employee
Los Angeles, California, United States
February 15, 2016
Pros: Nice selection of snacks available to testers in the main area on each floor.
There's a nice library to choose movies, video games, and board games to check out for personal use.
Great campus with nice, approachable people.
Cons: - Cafe food is a bit overpriced for what is served.
- The segregation of blue badges (Disney Interactive employees) and green badges (contracted employees) is ridiculous. Green badges are told about discounts but aren't able to use them, and green badges can't participate in certain events.
- There are a crap ton of spiders around due to the greenery located around the campus.
- You may encounter a roaming skunk if you are working on the morning shift.

Way too top-heavy
Lead Software Engineer • Current Employee
Los Angeles, California, United States
July 30, 2023
Pros: Coworkers are generally great. Amazing IP.
Cons: Where do I even begin?
Layoffs and consolidation.
No career growth except for those who brown nose.
Senior software engineer level at other companies is really Principal level here.
There are way too many managers of managers or managers and not enough people doing the actual work.
Salaries are generally below average.
4 days per week in office, no more remote work.
