You can coast easily. (Company of like 30k+ employees, not really a tech company, can barely track people, let alone fire them outside a few sporadic and random layoffs.)
Insane caps/requirements for promotions/titles (e.g., like 7+ years for Sr. Dev, a hard requirement. So you could be the best dev in the world, but if you don't have the years, you cannot in any circumstances get the promo).
The vast majority of projects die due to an insane amount of bureaucracy. It's Disney, a massive company. If you're not one of the major big-ticket items that Bob Iger literally says out loud, there's a high chance of it getting scrapped randomly.
Big-ticket items can get people extra cash bonuses and perks, but if you happen to be on a team that doesn't have work for them, you're just not eligible at all (why didn't you join a different team?!).
Engineering culture is not mature AT ALL. It has only acquired some tech companies in recent years, moving at a snail's pace to actually incorporate tech policies and move quickly.
Company culture is SO lame unless you're a Disney adult. Outside of that, no moral budgets ever (not even pizza parties, lmao), no parties (no holiday parties is literally a company policy), no fun.
Benefits suck compared to tech companies in general.
Some managers with general questions then loosely structured software panels. Some general design and tool questions then a confusing codepad runthrough. Overall process was a little bumpy from their side.
Every interview had multiple people present, which created a weird dynamic. I got the impression that some people couldn't focus. I was only asked one coding interview question. The other was system design. I was already annoyed to be interviewing
The interview process was standard: a manager conversation followed by a LeetCode-style technical round. I enjoyed the overall experience. It felt like a typical big-tech interview. I am currently interviewing here.
