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 Jul 2011 in Burbank, CA (took 1 week)
Had a meeting with two ladies from Warner Bros. Human Resources, they were both very sweet, and straightforward, they let me know pretty much then and there that I was competing with candidates with much more experience so I would probably not be considered for the role, but they wanted to get a sense of where I could fit in something else. Nothing ever came of it, so far, but the interview was good practice.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Burbank, CA (took a day)
I applied for another position and the recruiter picked up my resume. After a phone interview, she felt like that I was more suitable for the Senior Analyst position so she referred my resume to another recruiter. I also had a phone interview with the new recruiter and we mainly discussed about my experiences, education background, future goals, what I am looking for, etc. Then, I was called in to meet with one of the managers of the group and we had a interview to discuss about the position, what my qualifications are and company culture, etc. It wasn't too hard of an interview and the hiring manager really liked me and told me I am one of the strongest candidates. However, after a couple of weeks, I called to follow up and they said they decide to go with another candidate. I suggest to keep in contact with the recruiter because she did ask me a couple months later if I was interested in another position.

Interviewed May 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 5 days)
The hiring manager first called to do an initial screening. She went over my resume and went over the JD. I got a call back about 2 days later for a 2nd round, in person interview. First met with her (the hiring manager) then with my potential supervisor. Overall, relatively easy interview process if you can talk about current events in the industry and are familiar with the products

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Burbank, CA (took a day)
I did a standard phone interview with the recruiter where I reveiwed my experience with her. She told me I was qualified for the position and would recommend me for an interview.
I showed up to the scheduled interveiw expecting to meet with the hiring manager. Instead, I met with the recruiter where she spent a total of 15 mintues describing the organizational culture and company benefits. She ended by telling me they had not finalized the minimum requirements of the position and might want a candidate with a JD degree. Keep in mind that I don't have a JD, don't wan't a JD, and never will get a JD.
Frankly, this was information that could have been shared with me via telephone and in no way could be considered an interview. It was a complete waste of my time and gas.
I received no follow up from the recruiter, not even an TBNT auto generated email.

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 Nov 2009 (took 2 days)
The hardest part of interviewing for a company like Warner Bros. is getting your foot in the door. I submitted my resume through the website for perhaps hundreds of jobs but never received a call. I asked a prior boss to make a phone call for me which got me the call for an interview for a job I was not hired for but now I knew the HR rep by name and called her when I saw another opening for which I was qualified. That is the job I ended up getting.

Negotiation Details
I have been a paralegal, manager, secretary, and coordinator and I have always tried to negotiate my starting salary. I've usually been successful to one degree or another. Currently, no. Interviews have me nodding my head and smiling when the subject of salary comes up. Company's don't have to negotiate for middle level staff and definitely not for lower level.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Burbank, CA (took 2 days)
I applied for the Legal Internship online through my law school. I got an email asking to schedule a phone interview. I spoke with the head of the program who is an attorney at Warner Bros., and she was very nice. She told me they were still in the early stages of interviewing candidates, and I made sure to follow up with her once I received my Fall semester grades. I got an offer by the end of February, and the initial interview had been in January. I had about 2 weeks to decide whether to accept.
