Looks non-professional overall.
Initial communication on phone. HR asked me algorithm questions on phone - weird to me because he was matching my answers to what he had (obviously no clue left and right).
Initial interactions were confusing too, two recruiters were contacting me different answers.
First two interviewers were pretty good. But the third one was really weird - he looked to be having no clue about algorithms and was asking algo question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Maximum sub-array given an integer array. It wasn't that the question was so difficult, the interviewer asked in a way that appeared very rude to me. He was not interacting at all even after i ask questions worrying that his answer might not lead me to the solution.
It was 2 rounds phone interviews and then for the onsite interview. The phone interviews are not hard, some algorithm questions and also brain teaser. The onsite interview has more than 6 rounds, it started with a talk with HR. All the questions are algorithm questions.

Interview
Applied on Groupon careers website.
1st round phone screen - Friendly to talk with. 2 coding questions.
2nd round phone screen - Started with telling about the projects in his team, god knows what was he talking. Then asked questions about my previous projects and he could not understand what I was trying to explain, instead kept on breaking me in the middle to ask some stupid questions in a rude tone. This discussion went on for abut 30 minutes. Then a coding question to determine the second frequent number in an input array.
