I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Groupon
Interview
A recruiter contacted me through linkedin and organised a time to chat with me about Groupon. She then organised a phone interview with an engineer. After that a time was organised to interview with engineers from Groupon when they flew out to Australia. I then interviewed 1 on 1 with 3 separate engineers on site.
