I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Philadelphia, PA) in Sep 2015
Interview
First interview is with a recruiter. Then a Skype interview with the district sales manager. Then at least 5 more telephone interviews with 5 different managers from all over the country. The interviewing process is tedious and very time consuming as all of the interviewing people ask the same questions. The process is a bit extreme for the benefit of the job. For an experienced and successful sales manager, the base isn't great and the company has no 401k to offer. There doesn't appear to be much in the way of company culture, I asked every interviewer and never got an answer. Doesn't seem like a job with a purpose, rather just a job. Maybe a good starting point for someone young.
