Groupon Analyst interview questions

Phone interview went very smoothly. I was invited for an on-site interview and that is where things became quite interesting. The environment seems to be like a college social hour where everyone is really concerned with what they look like and what everyone will think of them. It is hard to imagine where people can find the energy to help the company thrive where there was little work that I saw being done (on facebook, etc., talking with others, etc.) What I came to learn in my interview is that work that is done, is done by a few people who admittedly sleep under their desks. My interviewer came in with huge bags under his eyes and in other words told me that I would be overworked and underpaid. He was quick to get on his soapbox about how exciting it is to be a part of a starting company and if it implodes, he is happy to have taken the chance. Not the greatest thing to hear from someone who is supposed to be selling you on the company.

The interview process started off great, I was getting quick responses and there was a lot of transparency which was refreshing. I had a phone screen where there were questions about my personality and work experience. I thought reviewing the other glassdoor reviews was helpful during the phone screen. I then had an in person interview where I met with other people that I would be working with. Questions were mixed and tried to get a glimpse into me as a person as well as my skillset. I think the communication went by the wayside after the interview and that I got the runaround from them. I wasn't given any information as to what next steps were, additional information needed from me, etc. If they weren't interested in hiring me, they should have just been upfront about it rather than give me the runaround
