I applied online. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in May 2019
Interview
Applied online through a college job site. Was contacted within a week to set up an interview with a recruiter to discuss my experiences. Scheduled an in-person interview for 2 weeks after the first interview that included meeting with a vertical manager, a department manager, and a short job shadow. The whole process was professional and everyone I spoke to was very friendly.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Groupon
Interview
In person interview to walk through experience and knowledge as well as problem solving focused interview questions. Sales experience and pitching are also a focus of the overall final interview.
It was pretty easy. There was a call with a recruiter that included some simple questions and felt more like conversations and then an in person interview with the manager(s) in the Groupon Chicago office.
