I applied through university. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2019
Interview
Met at university job fair, had first interview next day, then a couple phone interviews after that. Fairly easy, more about soft skills than hard skills. I did end up getting a different job than the one I originally interviewed for, which at the time, I felt was a good thing.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Groupon
Interview
In person interview to walk through experience and knowledge as well as problem solving focused interview questions. Sales experience and pitching are also a focus of the overall final interview.
It was pretty easy. There was a call with a recruiter that included some simple questions and felt more like conversations and then an in person interview with the manager(s) in the Groupon Chicago office.
