The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied for online for a front-end developer position and heard back from a technical recruiter about a week after the initial application. I was asked for availability for a phone screen and then heard nothing for another week. Once contact with the technical recruiter was reestablished I was bounced to a recruiting coordinator to schedule a phone screen with a developer. Once the time for my phone screen came I received no phone call. After waiting half an hour for the phone screen to begin I attempted to get in contact with the recruiting coordinator who had scheduled the phone screen with no success. Four hours after I was supposed to have the phone screen the initial technical recruiter reaches out to reschedule.
