I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in May 2016
Interview
Talked with a recruiter over the phone for the initial phone screening interview. Went into the office the following week. Met with original recruiter, another recruiter, the head of the Getaways department, the manager of all the market managers, and two current market managers. Got a tour as well. Very hard to get in touch with anyone in the days following the interview to find out the status of the interview process. Had multiple unanswered emails and received no feedback.
