I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Zappos Family (Las Vegas, NV) in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied through my college job portal. After you have applied, you have to give a test on Hackerrank and also a virtual interview. My Hackerrank test had 3-4 questions, standard questions (nothing too tough), but you should be prepared well. Virtual interview asks about 4-6 behavioral questions and probably 2-3 very basic technical questions. (OOPs concepts, GET vs. POST etc) . Once you get selected through the online process, you get to go to their On-Site location ( Vegas :D ).
The On-site process is so muuuch fun! The people at Zappos, especially the recruiters, make sure you're comfortable and try to connect you with potential future team members. On-site process involves another coding round, an HR interview, and finally a whiteboard coding technical interview.
Coding interview - Techies at Zappos give you a problem and you have to code the solution.
HR interview has another set of behavioral questions lined up for you. (some are pretty tough, nevertheless, my advice to anyone is that "just be yourself", if you happen to be in that situation.)
Technical interview is easy, they ask you basic algorithmic questions ( I was asked questions from topics like string operations and hashmaps. They also asked about time complexity of the code that I had written).

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.

Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter based on my qualifications. I was sent a code challenge to complete over the weekend and then was scheduled for the culture fit interview. Once I completed the culture interview, I was scheduled for a technical interview with the hiring manager.

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.
