      Software Engineer Interview

      May 12, 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Zappos Family (San Francisco, CA) in May 2011

      Interview

      Round 1 was a phone interview with the hiring manager. That was the pretty standard easy interview that gets your foot in the door at any company. Nothing too difficult was asked, it's mostly about gauging your interest and hearing about the job. Round 2 is the tricky bit. It's a HR interview that tries to figure out if you're the physical incarnation of their fabled company values. If I were you, I'd have a story ready for each one of them because the interviewer expects you to ramble on and hang yourself if you don't have good answers. I've never talked to a shrink but I got a feeling it is very similar. They ask a lot of deceptively simple questions whose answers probably don't really matter on the surface. I think round 3 is a technical phone screen; round 4 is a in person interview, and round 5 is a flight to the mothership.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Tell me about what you've been doing and what was your favorite project.
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      On a scale of 1-10 how weird are you?
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      If you could be a superhero which one would you be and why? You can't pick superman, batman, or spiderman.
      Answer question

      Question 4

      Rate yourself from 1-10 on technical skill X and why? Some of the topics were XHTML, server programming, javascript, hand coding (as opposed to what? feet coding???)

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at The Zappos Family (Las Vegas, NV) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      Standard, had to do a set of brain teaser questions within 45 minutes. Difficulty was moderate, one question was about data structures and the other was basic string manipulation. The interviewer was available for questions and guided me.

      Name a time in the past that you have had to contribute to a team and what you did.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at The Zappos Family

      Interview

      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.
