I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2015
Interview
The interview started with a phone screening with a recruiter, then the recruiter invited me in for two in-person interviews in the same day. I was told I would meet with the head of the department and one of the managers within that department. The manager brought in another guy without telling me, which I thought was extremely unprofessional. Both interviews seemed to go well. I answered all of their questions with a smile on my face.
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.
