My initial contact with the company was great; I spoke with a recruiter on the phone and she was very friendly and easy to talk to. My in person interview was rather nerve-racking. It took a couple hours most of which was spent waiting in a room. I met with four different people, probably for about 10 minutes each, and then waited maybe 20-25 minutes in between people. For the most part they all asked the same questions, which really made all my waiting seem like a waste of time when we could have all met at once. The only upside was that I had the ability to be prepared and improve my answer each round. The main recruiter never seemed satisfied with any of my answers. He kept asking me to explain why I wanted to work for Groupon and when I explained what I liked about the company it didn't seem good enough. Also, they asked a lot of situation questions (tell me about a time when...) which I never find easy to answer, or particularly useful for the interviewer.

I went through a three-step process: first with the recruiter, then with the person I’ll be working with, and finally with her management team. Throughout, they all appeared to be highly professional and dedicated individuals.
