J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez The Zappos Family (Henderson, NV) en févr. 2010
Entretien
Was referred by a recruiting firm, interviewed with two folks - the hiring manager and a future "peer" in the same day after having a phone interview initially with hiring manager.
The usual interview questions were asked, tell me about your work history and experience, why are you looking, etc. etc.
Then a few wild cards - so how weird are you on a scale of 1-10, and why? What is your life song or anthem?
Some suggestions - this is a quirky team so if you are looking for structure and a "normal" office environment this is not it. If you are outgoing and have a fun personality while not taking yourself or life too seriously, and still able to deliver exceptional work, then this is a perfect place.

WARNING -- If you are a true professional looking for a professional environment, this is NOT the company for you. If HOWEVER you are looking for young group of 'kids' to hang around with and have fun, this is probably a good gig for you. Just be prepared for a LONG, RIDICULOUS, JUVENILE, , and at times down right DEMEANING process!!!!
The process took about 6 weeks from the first submission of my resume to their online job site.
Step 1: Apply Online
Step 2: Complete an online questionnaire
Step 3: Phone screen with HR - be prepared for lots of cultural questions
Step 4: Complete an on-line application (redundant, yes, but it's the process)
Step 5: Technical Interview
Step 6: A 90 minute 'simulated' PM exercise. Yes it's timed
Step 7: On-site Interview -- Prepare for a full 8+ hours of interviewing with various individuals with mostly standard type questions. Quite a bit of redundancy since many of the questions are repeated by various folks. There is a lunch in there, then back at it in the afternoon. You can even have a picture taken in a 'King's' Chair, or write a fabulous quote on their 'Wall of fame' Um, really?!?
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Oh there are sooooooooooo many who could keep track! Here are a few:
1. If you were a Superhero, who would you be and why?
2. If you walked into a room and they were playing a theme song for you what would it be and why?
3. If you had to go lunch with 3 people, living or dead, who would they be and why?
There many others, just continue along their interview process and you will see first hand!

Interview is 50% based on your social/culture behavior, and 50% on previous achievements and skills. Culture is King at Zappos, and if it seems you won't fit in, then they will very politely tell you they are not interested.
Some interview questions are: If you could be a super hero, which one would you be? How lucky are you? If you had to buy Tony shots (Tony is the CEO), what kind of shot would you buy him.
