I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied and was asked to do a phone screen two days later. I was asked to start off the interview by telling the recruiter about myself, why I'm applying, how I heard about the position and what makes me a good fit. I thought those were a lot of questions to answer to start off the interview, but I gave it my best shot. There weren't many questions about how my background related to the position, but a bunch of random scenario questions. There were also a lot of long pauses from the recruiter and it made me feel uncomfortable. Maybe it was a test, but it made the call very awkward and the conversation didn't flow very well. I also had the close the conversation, which I thought was strange too. I would have liked to speak or meet with someone different.

Question 1
How would you tell a customer about Groupon who has never used it?
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.
