      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Zappos Family in Dec 2011

      Interview

      I first applied then was asked to fill out an online application with the same unusual questions. What's your theme song, what super hero would you be etc. Then I got a call from a recruiter. He asked some questions about my current job, why I wanted to leave etc. then asked how weird I thought I was. I then had to take a very difficult skills test on Microsoft office programs. It was timed and had about 25 questions. Then a few weeks after that I got an email asking to schedule an interview. My interview time was rescheduled twice and when I got there they were over 20 minutes late. The interviewers were nice enough but I felt like they never asked about my skills just wanted to know if I could work in such and unusual environment and how I interacted with previous co-workers. It seemed very important to them that I hung out and was BFF's with everyone in the office. The office atmosphere was very chaotic. I'm not sure how they get much done everyone was standing around eating and talking. I felt like the entire time I was being judged on how weird I was and not on my skills. I asked what the position did exactly and they never gave me a definite answer. They just kept telling me they were looking for someone who could get along with the VP. I assured them I had worked for every type of person you could imagine, which is the truth. I've never had an issue. I was told they had a few more interviews and would be contacting me late the following week. This was a Friday and by Monday they had already sent an email saying they didn't think I was the right fit. I honestly felt like I never got a shot to even show my skills. I think they judge too much on how weird you are and not enough on your job performance. I think they had already decided before I even left the room. Feel like I wasted a lot of time and energy. Salary was never listed or told either. I was going to ask at the second interview.
