I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2010
Interview
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.

Interview
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.

Over the phone interview person didn’t seem engaged in our conversation. Rushed process. They did not offer me the position. They also inquired about reaching out to other businesses and if I had any connections with local places
