I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zynga (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
The interviews were difficult and required preparation. The phone screen by HR was fairly typical with a few added questions to gauge passion for gaming and being analytical. Then I went onsite to meet 4-5 Product Managers and a General Manager. Interviews were 45 minutes each, every one was asking good tough questions. The building is amazing and there was a chance to talk to a current employee over lunch.

Funnel Analysis
Completed a full assignment, cleared two interview rounds, and followed up four times over three weeks without receiving any response. The interview process itself was engaging but candidate communication after final rounds was completely absent. Would caution candidates to manage expectations accordingly. Chacko/HR has scant professionalism and doesn't have basic courtesy to respond to candidates who are deeper into process, despite multiple kind follow-up mails over 2 weeks.
