Entrevista
A friend called me to suggest I apply for the position, so I sent a resume and note to the appropriate HR person. She called me within a few days and scheduled a phone interview. The phone interview happened a few days later. She asked fairly common questions regarding my experience, management style, and why I was interested in the position. I then was asked to come in and "meet a few people". Foolishly, I had no idea it was a formal interview process, so was taken aback by the half day of group and individual interviews with supervisors, producers, department heads and production managers. I now know that the nice HR people will give you a lot of information ahead of time about what your meetings will entail should you be clever enough to inquire--so I highly recommend that you do so. Also, get the inside scoop from anyone you may know about the people who may interview you. I found that one person in particular who interviewed me doesn't like women--particularly smart, capable ones. Found myself toning it down big time with her to avoid seeming too confident. Had the impression that the opportunities for advancement would be extremely limited and slow for a person with prior experience, due to heavy emphasis on senority at Pixar (not necessarily a bad thing), and a well-deserved superiority complex. Many of the higher-level staff have only worked in film at Pixar, which explains this phenomenon.

Why would you want to go from (the title you hold) to this position?
(used this page on indeed to study for my interview, so wanted to give my input as well!)
Really great interview process. First interview was over the phone with the recruiter. They just wanted me to elaborate on my past work experiences, why I want to work in animation, and know my personality. They were very warm and welcoming and didn't make me feel intimidated. Next interview was with several pairs of managers that all asked me behavioral questions. Again, all of them were very kind, honest, and you could tell they really were listening to you and wanted to know you more. The recruiter gave me a basis of what questions I'd be asked in my second interview, and I really prepared for it. So happy to now work for this company!

Great process - maybe a little slow, but recruiters were always available for questions. Half-hour phone call with the recruiter led to 1 and 1/2 hour in-person interview at Pixar, meeting with 3 2-person interview teams. Unfortunate that I did not get the job, but I was certainly given a great shot at it, and look forward to hopefully interviewing again in the future.

I've interviewed with them a couple of times--both in person and over the phone. They manage to present themselves as open, inspired and friendly, but ultimately they're a big corporation. I don't think I'm meant to be a cog in the wheel.
