Interviewed Mar 2012 in Burbank, CA (took 2 weeks)
The best interview process with an orgaization I have ever gone through. Luckily, I had an employee referral which (I presume) landed me the interview in the first place.
Everything began with a phone interview, proceeded to meet HR about a week later and on the same day interviewed with the managers. I was offered the job two days later.
The process was fast and very enjoyable. The managers were fun and great to talk to, HR is probably one of the best in the business. I was in constant contact via email and phone. From beginning to end, process took about 2 weeks.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Burbank, CA (took 8 weeks)
Applied online, phone interview with HR, 1:1 interview with HR, 1:1 interview with Director, phone interview with VP.
7-8 week-long hiring process that went smoothly and was offered the position a week later!
A lot of communication via e-mail and phone calls and HR definitely keeps in contact and updates you all throughout. Overall, the BEST hiring and interview process I've been through!

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 days)
Interviewed with WB and I have to say it was an amazing experience! I can see how the political aspect of this organization can get in the way of an applicant's road to get hired - the process is usually long and your contacts don't always reply to your messages even though they may read/listen to them. I'll break down my experience for ya!
Pros:
- Beautiful campus and plenty of parking.
- Great employee perks.
- Pretty competitive salaries depending on your position.
- Bright co workers and (depending on your department) capable and great supervisors.
- Management is quite accessible and available.
- Freedom in your work as long as you get what is requested done in time.
- Temps almost always become full-time employees after 1 year.
Cons:
- It's hierarchical and internal promotions are almost nonexistent unless you know someone.
- Hiring process can be a bit hard to maneuver, not always clear cut.
- Getting hired can take two months of waiting and many interviews.
- Being referred is probably the only way to get an interview with anyone.
- Long hours for most departments.
- It's a big corporate environment therefore change is very hard to come by.
- Breakdown -
Arrived early enough to clean myself up, tidy up paperwork etc. Receptionist was very helpful and sweet. Then went in to meet with HR which was a great experience - the company is generally very squared away with their processes, that is they are pretty efficient (if they want you that is). HR interview took about an hour.
After the HR interview, went in and took a skills test - it's quite easy, if you use office you should be fine. They allot 2 hours for you and I got it done in about 40 min.
Right after my skills test, went upstairs to the big boys and interviewed with the hiring managers for my position. The questions mainly went off the job description and after they were done with that they asked a little bit about my life and asked me to expand on my knowledge and skills for the job. Overall it went VERY well.
The office was clean, posters everywhere, employees listening to music while working, spacious cubicles - overall a great environment to work in and thrive. Too bad I didn't get that call back - looks like they were searching for someone else, guess you can't have it all! =)
Good luck to ya'll who are trying to get hired! It's a great place to get started in entertainment.

Interviewed Mar 2007 in Burbank, CA (took a day)
Department manager and her supervisor (probably sr. manager) interviwed me for about 30 mins. They went over my resume and asked what my job responsiblity was at former job and how it could be applied at WB.
Asked me what my strength/wekaness was.
Interview wasn't hard at all. But I knew that I was not going to be selected, because it was so obvious that my answer wasn't impressive. The manager did not try at all to hide her facial expression as i was answering my question (she literally frowned) - which kind of worried/pissed me off at the same time.
On my way out, I knew they did not want to go forward with me and yes, i was right. I checked the email later that day and it said i was not chosen. The email was time stamped 5 mins after I left their office
