I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2016
Interview
Submitted my application 7 weeks before being contacted. I had a phone screening with Talent Acquisition and was then invited to interview in person. I got a brief tour of the office with TA, and was led to a meeting room. I met with 2 department managers for about 30 minutes each. I was led out by Talent Acquisition, who sounded very optimistic about an offer. The interview took place on a Friday, and I was told that I would find out by the following Monday (at the latest) with an offer. I did not hear anything on Monday. I followed up via email with TA for an update on my application, and was told Tuesday afternoon that I would hear a response by the end of the week. I was not contacted until the following Monday.

Question 1
If you were thrown into this position with no training, how would you handle it?
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.
