I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2015
Interview
Applied online and had an employee referral so then received a phone interview. On the initial application I had to do a mock pitch letter for a company who was looking for information on Groupon. Then after setting up a time for a phone interview I spoke with a Groupon representative for about 30 minutes. I did not make it past the phone interview and was later told that I did not do a good job of selling myself to them or showing an interest in sales.
Asked me to discuss my background, then asked me to talked about a time I experienced failure, then proceeded with job requirements and salary which started at $35K + a capped bonus of $10K
I applied online. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL)
Interview
When I arrived it was at least 7 other people in the lobby waiting to be interviewed as well. When it was my turn my name was card and I was led to the interview room. I interviewed with a woman and then with a man. The interview lasted around 45 minutes. I received a call back but I wasn't able to answer when the lady called and I was never able to reach her afterwards so I just assumed I didn't get offered the position.
Phone and Skype combo. Seemed rushed and wrote me off quickly without diving deeper. Seemed like they wanted a direct connection with the work I'm doing at my current employer, but the industry and circumstances are different. They asked a lot of questions about handling stress, constant change, and working within a fast-paced team environment.
