Applied online and submitted a resume and cover letter. A few weeks later, I received a Technical Challenge where I had to write some code using their API. When submitting the technical challenge you must also do a recorded video interview. If they like everything they will fly you out to Vegas for two days of interviews. Pretty standard questions. Nothing too difficult.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Zappos Family in Sep 2015
Interview
The first round consisted of a coding round on Hacker Rank and a virtual interview (behavioral + technical). The coding round was average with 4 questions to be solved in 4 hours. I was able to solve 3 out of 4 questions. As many have pointed out, the virtual interview decides your fate. It had 10 questions mostly behavioral and a few technical. I had trouble adjusting with the whole virtual concept. The virtual interview gives you two chances to record your answers. I think I made a mistake by not choosing to use my second chance. I thought questions won't be the same. I also felt I had done fairly on some of the questions. I had actually answered a few questions well did not do that well in others. Got a reject mail a couple of weeks later.
