Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend The Walt Disney Company to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to The Walt Disney Company
Come prepared to the interview. Technical understanding is important for this position and needs to be demonstrated during the application process. Another piece of advice would be to not stress out the first couple weeks/month. The systems we support are huge, and it takes months to understand it all. So being completely lost the first couple weeks is normal and expected.
