Standard affair - Hiring manager, SQL test, panel. Recruiter kept in touch constantly and was communicative. I would say that my recruiter told me to be aware of what the panel will ask, and was pretty far off (I usually wing my interviews so I don't think it affected but something to point out). It seemed like the analytics leader wanted something beyond what was listed in the job description. The hiring manager and I seemed to click pretty well and I may have gotten my hopes up from the tone of our conversation - try to be a bit more neutral moving forward

I recently went through the interview process with Disney, and I have to say, it was one of the most frustrating experiences of my professional life. From the beginning, communication was lacking. The recruiter was virtually non-existent, often leaving me in the dark about the next steps. When I finally had my second interview, the interviewer was friendly and encouraging, even saying I did great and offering to help me prepare for the next round. He shared his email address, which I appreciated, and I felt optimistic about my prospects. However, after this positive interaction, the ghosting returned—this time for a staggering six weeks. I reached out multiple times, hoping for an update, but my messages went unanswered. It was disheartening to feel so ignored, especially after receiving such positive feedback. Eventually, I did receive a response, but it was a rejection. The lack of professionalism throughout the process was disappointing. Overall, the process left me feeling undervalued and frustrated.
