Subject: Ghosted after collecting the pay slips post clearing all rounds of interview ************************************* Pros • Interview panel (VP level and above) was highly competent and technically strong. • Deep discussions on streaming media architecture and system design. • Leadership interactions were respectful and intellectually engaging. *********************************** Cons • The process stretched nearly five months with no clear timeline. • After clearing all interview rounds, I was asked to submit pay slips and other documents. Once shared, communication stopped completely. • Multiple follow-ups received no response. No rejection. No closure. • For a company of Disney’s stature, the lack of professionalism in handling a senior candidate at the final stage was surprising. ******************************** Advice to Management If third-party recruiters represent your brand, their accountability should match your leadership standards. Senior candidates who invest months in interviews deserve structured communication and formal closure especially after documentation is collected

Recruiter reached out through linkedin. Interviewed a engineering manager role on the data side. The process is pretty standard for a eng role. Had a hiring manager screen a technical screen and some behavior rounds.
