I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2015
Interview
Interview process began with a phone interview from Groupon recruiter. Second round interview took place on-site with two different sales managers.
Recruiter was very helpful throughout my interview process. She answered all of my questions and gave me the most realistic opinion of the role that I was interviewing for.
Managers were clearly looking for very driven employees that believe whole-heartedly in Groupon's mission. Questions were pretty typical and expected. I was not surprised by any of the questions or responses from interviewers.
The in-person interview included a tour of the Chicago office.
Each manager interviewed me for about 15-20 minutes.
Felt a bit rushed.
Wanted to see that I had an understanding of the companies history and current standing.

Interview
Recruited via LinkedIn and had a phone screening the next day. Phone screening was very easy--we discussed previous work experience and lots of 'tell me about a time when' questions. At the end of the screening, I was invited to an on-site interview later in the week where I met with the recruiter in person as well as the department lead and regional inbound sales manager. Some overlap here with more in-depth questions about my previous experience and how I handle certain situations. They got back to me in a few days with an offer. While everyone I spoke with was very friendly and the office was super laid back and youthful, I felt I would fit better somewhere else.
