I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2015
Interview
Standard pattern: 30 min phone call discussing my background and why you want to get into sales, followed by an hour-long (2 x 30 min) interview at the company headquarters.
You clearly need to have an understanding of how Groupon works, and why it would be beneficial to a company. They want to know if you can easily explain how a company would make money, what the advantages are, and how you would handle a potential client that continues to say no.

After a month on the job, will you be in the top 20%, the middle 60%, or the bottom 20%? What would you do if you were in the bottom 20%?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Groupon (Scottsdale, AZ) in Aug 2018
Interview
HR told me to come "dressed professionally" all the managers had shorts, T-shirts and sandals on. Dressing Professionally means something entirely different to folks at Groupon!

Question 1
Shocking bad questions for such a large organization with huge HR staff. Typical questions-how did you over come adversity. Its hard to take any manager seriously in shorts and a old t-shirt
1st it was the phone interview second an in person interview. They will either call you to come in person for the second interview or schedule a skype inter if your unable to attend.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Scottsdale, AZ)
Interview
4 week process
I applied online through an employer referral. I was contacted the same day I applied and was asked if I would be interested in an over the phone interview. That phone interview happened one week after the initial email and was a very brief, they just asked me about previous work experience and explained the job and benefits of the job to me. It lasted about 20 minutes. Right from the phone interview they asked if I could come in for an in person interview.
I interviewed in person 2 weeks later. The interview consisted of two 30 minute interviews with a 30 minute job shadowing segment in between the interviews. The questions they asked were basic behavioral questions and my interviewers were very polite and created a non threatening environment.
