I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zynga in Jun 2011
Interview
When I arrived, I had to sign in and wait for the HR person to come. When they did, they sat in a meeting room for hours while different team members took turns interviewing me. Each person looked at the strength of my portfolio which I brought along with me. Some members where kind enough to give me pointers and often offered many compliments.

Question 1
What work experience do you have that relates to the job that you will be doing here?
The very quick response between the interviews. They provide a doc with clear discretion about their company and job before the interview, which helps learn more about their jobs. Good time arrangement.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zynga (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2016
Interview
Phone screening by HR recruiter out of state. No front office reception or coordination when arriving at the studio because HR was remote. Had to interrupt one of the employees working at their desks by the front door to let them know why I was here.
Around 2-3 hour interview. Two one-on-one interviews with other employees, then a 3 person panel interview with the department head, supervisor and producer. The first two 1-1 interviews were somewhere of between a meet-and-greet, interview, and "we're not sure what were supposed to be doing here".
Head of the department sat in for about 10-15 minutes, looked at my website with me, and left me with the other two early. Was not shown around the office, I asked my employee friend who referred me to do so. Felt pretty disorganized.
Employee that referred me could not be in the interview. Other employees who were referring others could not be part of the interview. I felt like it would have been important for them and me to know a bit about each other. There was no secondary interview from what I heard.
No follow up from HR/recruiter letting me know the status of the position.
