Interview
I applied for the CLT position right before Zappos changed their hiring practices. A friend of a friend sent me a text to tell me the link was up, and I applied online as quickly as possible. The link was gone 30 minutes after I heard about it! Within a few days I got an e-mail informing me that the first step in the process was for me to take two different online assessments. One was a typing test. I think you only had to be able to type 20 wpm. The second test was a grammar assessment. Both were simple and straight forward. The day after I'd taken the tests I got another e-mail letting me know I'd passed. The next step was a face to face interview! I interviewed with two different ladies. One did the "Culture" interview and the other did the "Technical" interview. My culture interview was a normal kind of job interview with a few "Zappos" type of questions. That lasted about 45 minutes. I wold definitely say remember to do your homework on the company before you go! Then it was on to the technical interview. That took place in a small room with a computer. She would give me scenarios and then watch as I used the Zappos website (or google) to find what the customer was looking for. It seemed like they were just checking to make sure you had a general understanding of how to work the internet! :) She also asked me some "What would you do" type of questions related to helping an escalated customer call. (Like a family going on vacation who didn't get their new shoes in time). I have a few friends. Then my interview was over and I was told they would be deciding within the week. I left the interview and went to a movie. When I got out I had an e-mail telling me I'd made it to the next step. The position was mine as long as I passed their employment verification and background checks. That process took about one week. After that I got a call officially offering me the position!

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at The Zappos Family (Las Vegas, NV) in Aug 2015
Interview
Long but fun received an email with some very off the wall questions and I answered them honestly. Then I received an email to do a recorded interview and that was super awkward talking to myself through a computer. After that was a face to face interview that I was sick for but imitated Batman the whole interview. Was offered the job in the interview.

Interview
Online application, grammar test, video interview submission, in-person group interview. All of these processes are used to determine if you are a good personality fit for the culture of the company. It was a very detailed and intense process, but not a difficult one. Definitely worth the time and effort!
