Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

I would look through the actual reviews and ask about some of the themes there, also noting (to yourself) the dates/recency. Phrasing such as "I was going through the companies Glassdoor reviews, and in the past couple of years the themes of (theme A here) and (theme B here) are commonly cited. Can you share a perspective on that, and if the company or leadership team is taking any concrete steps to address the issues?". Definitely wait until you are deeper into the interview - when you reach the "What questions do you have for us?" portion. Ask one or two more generic "soft ball" inquiries first before bringing this one up. But it's fair game, and also just shows you've done your research.

I’m not sure that I would bring up the review specifically, but I would ask about culture and I would ask questions surrounding what I read

In this market I think most unemployed people would be happy just to have a job, regardless of GD ratings. If the company is toxic, at least it's a paycheck while you search for the next opportunity.
Just keep looking. I interviewed with a company where 9/10 reviews said the same thing: this place sucks and the CEO is a criminal. I still interviewed. I was desperate.
The final round came, the guy who would be my manager basically said: "Yeah, the guy who runs this place is involved in mafia type stuff, plus, he hates people who are not his own race and ethnicity. Are you sure you're cool with that?"
I was not cool with that.
