Interview
The interview process was pretty easy and took about 2 weeks. I first set up an phone call with the recruiter which went really well. She was very nice asked me about my current job and my interest in Groupon. After that I then was scheduled for an in person interview with two of the Sales managers. It was very unorganized and the people who I was originally supposed to see ended up having meetings and they just grabbed two other Sales managers on the fly to interview me. They clearly just wanted to hurry up and be done with it because one of them especially kept looking at his watch like he had no interest in being there or really getting to know me. I felt it was a waste of time. Would not recommend this company.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2018
Interview
Recruited via LinkedIn and had a phone screening the next day. Phone screening was very easy--we discussed previous work experience and lots of 'tell me about a time when' questions. At the end of the screening, I was invited to an on-site interview later in the week where I met with the recruiter in person as well as the department lead and regional inbound sales manager. Some overlap here with more in-depth questions about my previous experience and how I handle certain situations. They got back to me in a few days with an offer. While everyone I spoke with was very friendly and the office was super laid back and youthful, I felt I would fit better somewhere else.
