      Account Executive Interview

      14 July 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chicago, IL
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2012

      Interview

      I tried to apply to Groupon online multiple times. One of my friends knew a recruiter and only after he forwarded my resume did I hear from them. First was an initial phone call - tell me about yourself, walk me through your resume, why sales - and then a second phone call with the same questions but different recruiter. They asked basic questions, although with percentage math questions and how Groupon could benefit small businesses. Third phone call was a role play scenario, where I pretended to be a Groupon rep and talk to a merchant. What they want to see is how you sell the company and what Groupon can offer, and when they try to get off the phone, be persistent and confident. Lastly, I interviewed in the office with 3 employees, and since the VP was out of the office, he gave me a call the following week. I was then offered the job, but declined due to timing. It's a great company to work for, but my one piece of advice: make sure you want to be in sales! Oddly enough, I realized sales wasn't for me by the end, but I still love Groupon for what they do.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2024

      Interview

      Phone Call interview with recruiter. She invited me to go for the next steps. I was scheduled for a 1 hour google meet with managers. That interview was canceled two days beforehand by another recruiter that I never even spoke with, she said she canceled all existing interviews due to "hiring pause" and that she will reach out as soon as they can reschedule. I emailed both recruiters after I received that message and no response! Pretty unprofessional, unorganized, and lack of communication. During this same time, I have interviewed with other large companies and the recruiters were better at every single company.

      I was contacted by a really lovely HR representative for an introductory call. I got a really good sense of the company and role just in that first call. I was updated regularly and given lots of opportunities to ask questions and to gain feedback.
