      Software Engineering Director Interview

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      2 phone screens, 1 with HR than 1 with hiring manager. Onsite interview with Lead Engineer and VP. The usual questions, a technical scenario, and a behavioral with the VP I have to note that during all of the phone interviews, the position was Director level. At no time was I informed of a change. At the interview, I could tell by the types of questions asked that the interview was for manager. Given my doubts about the face to face interview process I asked the HR rep if there was some misunderstanding. The rep merely said that the position had changed to manager. I was very unhappy about that and let the rep know that she should have notified me of the change and that I found the process was very unprofessional. I felt that the process was a bait and switch. I declined to continue the interview process after that initial onsite.
