SWE Recruiter & Hiring Manager Behavioral (Projects, Motivation, Collaboration)

Behavioral questions that come up repeatedly in software engineering loops include: the project you are proudest of or that had the most impact; why you want Disney and this particular role; hiring managers concentrating on your project experience; recruiter screens probing your cloud and infrastructure-as-code background (Terraform, AWS); a 30-minute conversation with a TPM about how you work and collaborate during a Lead-level onsite; and a hiring manager follow-up after the onsite about how you manage stakeholders. For product engineer roles, the loop finishes with an onsite focused on culture fit.
