I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Groupon
Interview
I applied online and got replied from Talent Acquisition after 4days. Sounds effective. As I'm abroad, so the interviewer request to have a teleconference instead. She asked me to download an apps and I expecting we will have a teleconference on that day. On the exact day, we were supposed to had a teleconference at 2.30pm but the interviewer called me at nearly 3pm and just a phone call instead of what I'm expecting a teleconference. Kinda pissed of as I'm dress formally expecting a teleconference. The interviewer sounds very dull and her tone sounds very impatient. Asking me whether have experience in airline or so. As she can see from my resume I don't have any experience with what airline. I replied that I don't have and but I do have experience in sales and I can learn along the way during training. She told me it's actually a replacement role and something like we might not have training or so. Our conversation lasted very short about 8minutes I think. I feel so disappointed! If ur looking for someone experience in airline or so please state it clearly at the job scope! Secondly, if you feel that the candidate is not suitable why waste both parties time to interview ? Third, if you were to schedule as a teleconference and request candidate to even download the apps for teleconference please don't simply change to phone call without prior notice. So RUDE!!!
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2017
Interview
Fairly straight forward process. The first round was at my university as Groupon was there for a career fair. Second round was on sight at their headquarters in Chicago, IL. Their headquarters are super fun and vibrant and seems like a good, collaborative place to work. They want to get a feel for your personality and for your work ethic. Because the job involves a lot of cold calling, they're interested in how you handle rejection. If cold calling is a deal breaker for you then this may not be the position for you.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in May 2016
Interview
I was contacted for a phone interview then asked to come in for an in person interview- I was interviewed by 3 people- its mostly to see if you would fit the culture of the company- make sure to ask retention rate and what the training program is like. They didn't explain this to nearly anyone in my class and it can be quite deceiving
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
'How would you see Groupon to a restaurant?' Need to have a basic understanding of food costs
