I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2011
Interview
Contacted the HR guy directly and sent my cover letter and resume. Thoroughly researched the company so I could name drop the hot topics in the news and in the industry. During my phone interview I name dropped 2 other successful reps I knew at Groupon. The in person interview was done by the HR guy and 2 hiring managers. One manager loved me and the other did not like me, so the HR guy called me back to do another phone interview with a different hiring manager. I was offered the job within 3 days.

The interview process for an account executive role is rigorous, focusing on your consultative sales approach, ability to navigate complex deal cycles, overcome objections, and demonstrate genuine, results-driven relationship building.
I applied online. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2024
Interview
Phone Call interview with recruiter. She invited me to go for the next steps. I was scheduled for a 1 hour google meet with managers. That interview was canceled two days beforehand by another recruiter that I never even spoke with, she said she canceled all existing interviews due to "hiring pause" and that she will reach out as soon as they can reschedule. I emailed both recruiters after I received that message and no response! Pretty unprofessional, unorganized, and lack of communication. During this same time, I have interviewed with other large companies and the recruiters were better at every single company.
