I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2013
Interview
I applied online and a recruiter reached out within a few days. We had a phone interview which lasted about 45 minutes. I came into the office the next week where I was given a tour and then interviewed by 3 separate District Sales Managers. The Regional VP was not available that day so him and I had a skype interview a few days later.

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.
