I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Zynga in Nov 2013
Interview
I got a Zynga recruiting ad on Facebook, so I applied as a joke. My cover letter was completely bs, so when I actually got an email for an interview, I was quite surprised.
It was a screening with mostly behavioral questions. There were some minor technical questions that can easy be answered. I told the recruiter that I had outstanding offers and deadlines soon and wasn't really interested in Zynga.
Some behavioral questions:
What's a challenge you've encountered? How did you solve it? Looking back, what would you have changed?
What would you do if you were given a spec that needed to be completed in a week.

Interview
Job interview process is driven by the recuiters or via in house referrals. Referrals clearly get a higher priority. Usually, there are two rounds of phone screens followed by one day of on-site interview. On-site interview involves a day of technical interview with ~5 individuals. You will be tested on your analytical ability, creativity, problem solving skills, leadership, project management skills.
