I applied online. I interviewed at The Zappos Family in May 2013
Interview
Applied on their website, they replied within 5 days asking for my availability for an interview. Spoke to an HR woman from Zappos, she wasn't part of the team that was hiring for the position. She placed a huge emphasis on culture. Here are the questions I remember:
* What do you know about Zappos? Have you seen our site? What do you think of our site?
* Are you familiar with the Zappos values? I've read Delivering Happiness so I was able to answer some of the values
* Are you okay with spending your first month at Zappos in our call center? Why do you think we make new hires do this?
* Are you okay with spending some time around Christmas season in the call center to help out?
* On a scale from 1 to 10, rate your proficiency with the following languages
* On a scale from 1 to 10, how weird are you and why?

I applied online. I interviewed at The Zappos Family (Las Vegas, NV) in Jan 2022
Interview
Standard, had to do a set of brain teaser questions within 45 minutes. Difficulty was moderate, one question was about data structures and the other was basic string manipulation. The interviewer was available for questions and guided me.

Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter based on my qualifications. I was sent a code challenge to complete over the weekend and then was scheduled for the culture fit interview. Once I completed the culture interview, I was scheduled for a technical interview with the hiring manager.

Interview
Got contacted by an Amazon recruiter on LinkedIn to invite me to apply to one of their offers.
We then scheduled a first phone call to talk about my profile and the position.
The recruiter never called and didn't answer my LinkedIn messages afterwards.
Complete waste of time.
