I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Zynga (Carlsbad, CA) in Apr 2014
Interview
I was referred by an employee. I had already worked with most individuals at previous jobs.
They flew me out.
I spent about 4 hours doing 1:1 interviews with 4 individuals. (3 Senior Software Engineers and the Executive Producer).
They asked standard Software Engineer interview questions that tested my in depth knowledge of the job. They also asked some teaser to understand how I approach a problem in a capacity I'm not familiar with.

Questions were pretty standard data structures, differences between languages, etc.
