Required to submit the challenge they gave. The topic is suggesting a technical feature that should be put on Zappos. After finishing the challenge and virtual interview, they contacted me that I failed the first step interview.

a challenge and virtual interview. The challenge is about recommendations system. The virtual interview can be done twice. I applied in Feb, and the opening closed pretty soon. All results will be received by Mar 14th.

The first part was pretty standard, asked for your resume, cover letter, and a short essay question on why you decided on zappos. They also asked for an optional video cover letter (which I included). I received an email immediately. In the email they gave me one week to complete a case study and a virtual interview. In the case study they give you a situation and 3 questions asking what you'd do etc. In the virtual interview, it consisted on 9 questions, 3 of the questions were business related and the rest were all questions aimed toward determining your personality.
