Asked me to discuss my background, then asked me to talked about a time I experienced failure, then proceeded with job requirements and salary which started at $35K + a capped bonus of $10K
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon
Interview
I had my first phone interview with a Recruiting Coordinator. It went very well but she told me straight off the bat that the position I was interested in had already been filled. She then suggested that I consider a sales position instead. I was hesitant, but agreed to then talk to a Sales Manager. In that phone call, it also went well - he answered many questions that I had about the position, and I expressed concern that it was not quite what I thought I would be interested in. At the end of the call, he asked me to come for an in-person interview. The in-office interview went well. They gave me a tour of the office and it seemed like a fun, young work environment. I had two interviews. The first with another Sales Manager and someone in the current position I was interviewing for. The Sales Manager answered, "totally" to every single response I had. She didn't seem extremely engaged or personable at all. They did answer some of my questions. The second interview was with another Sales Manager who was much more personable and seemed like he was paying attention to all my responses and questions.

On the spectrum of cars, are you a Prius or a Ferrari in terms of work?
I applied online. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL)
Interview
When I arrived it was at least 7 other people in the lobby waiting to be interviewed as well. When it was my turn my name was card and I was led to the interview room. I interviewed with a woman and then with a man. The interview lasted around 45 minutes. I received a call back but I wasn't able to answer when the lady called and I was never able to reach her afterwards so I just assumed I didn't get offered the position.
Phone and Skype combo. Seemed rushed and wrote me off quickly without diving deeper. Seemed like they wanted a direct connection with the work I'm doing at my current employer, but the industry and circumstances are different. They asked a lot of questions about handling stress, constant change, and working within a fast-paced team environment.
