I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Zappos Family (Henderson, NV) in Jul 2010
Interview
i had a phone call with an HR person to start. That followed with a phone call with two engineers who gave me basic programming questions and experience probing. Then I was flown into their headquarters for a full day of interviews. The day started at 8a with an hour long tour of the facilities (which is quite the experience), then starting at 9a i had a series of interviews with two people rotating in every hour. At noon I went to lunch with several people (which iI found out afterward was actually part of the interview) and the interviews continued in the afternoon. These interviews were very technical in nature including logic problems, whiteboard coding and even coding a solution in Java on a computer. The day ended with standard HR interviews to make sure I wasn't a serial killer or whatever.

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.
