I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Zappos Family (New York, NY) in Feb 2016
Interview
I had applied to Zappos online through their website. I was sent an invite for the online test. I was asked few easy questions. If you are familiar with programming, the test would be quite simple. The test also has a recorded video interview in which we are expected to answer 9 questions. I had heard Zappos cares about your behavioral qualities too so I feel the video interview was more important than the coding one.

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
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.
