I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Zappos Family (Henderson, NV) in Jan 2011
Interview
I applied online to this position as i have a very good background and experience with the technologies listed in the job description. I have been contacted by an HR person who went over my resume and she told me they want me to take a code test. We also discussed other typical HR questions. According to the outcome, they may or may not make a phone screening. I accepted the code test which took less than an hour. I sent them a working and tested java code, and gave the most reasonable answers to other java questions, but they did not follow up. I believe I don't fit their cooperate "culture".
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
A Java class called Example has the following attributes: String name, int id, String description, List<String> comments. Write a method that takes an instance of the Example class as an argument and returns true if both instances are equivalent at the attribute level. Getters and setters are available for each attribute. Once added, will this method be sufficient to use Example as a key value in a Map? If not, what else is required?
In a standard SQL query, it is necessary to retrieve rows where the column id is equal to 2, 4, 6, and 8 in the item table. Give two ways in which these values can be searched for without using IN. Explain the pros and cons of each way.

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.
