I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Groupon in Dec 2013
Interview
Interview process was pretty simple. Had a 15 min question and answer session over the phone where the requiter got to know me. She was very friendly and nice to talk to. She got back to me within the time frame they stated, but said they were looking for someone with more experience.

Interview
The interview process was pretty typical. It started out with a 15 minute phone screening. After that a couple days later it was a 30 minute phone interview with another hr representative. The next week i was given the opportunity to come in for an in-person interview. They asked typical questions. Everyone was extremely nice. You had to do a sales pitc scenario. Give reasoning behind what you did. Sales experience is definately neccesary! I was told when leaving they would contact me by the end of the week. I ended up e-mailing my HR representative a week later. She took a week to get back to me and told me they were going to look for other candidates. The interview process was great until the end. Honestly i was suprised not to get an offer. They seemed pretty positive throughout the whole interview. I didn't have trouble with any of the questions, case study, they didn't express any sort of concern.

Interview
So I applied online through the website and got a email asking to set up a phone interview. I responded that I could do the interview of friday. I did not get a response back till thursday afternoon saying that was a good time. I was prepared that Friday then the call never came. I emailed her and asked politely to reschedule. She got back to me on monday and we talked on tuesday. She seemed a little annoyed and kept asking about cold calling experience. It only took about 8 mins and she said she would let me know by wednesday (the next day) or thursday. 2 weeks passed and I still did not here, I emailed her again and the next day I got the sorry but we chose someone else letter.
Make sure you can talk about cold calling business.
