I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2015
Interview
I was referred by a friend. I was initially given a phone interview. About a week later I received a in house interview. It lasted about 30 minutes. You definitely want to have a peppy personality going into the interview. Be sure to smile and not be too serious. BUT if this is not your normal personality Groupon will probably not be a good fit. The environment is positive, happy and sometimes down right silly. :)

Interview
Very quick and easy interview process. I only had one phone interview with the recruiter and one in-person interview with 2 managers (conducted with both manager at the same time). The questions were pretty standard- why I'm interested in Groupon and asking about my experience/background from past employment. Groupon did not call my references or conduct a background check, so I got the offer the day after my interview.

Interview
It was simple. They mostly wanted to make sure I was in the long haul and would not quit early on. They want to get a feel for how you will work in the environment and make sure you fit within the young hip culture. If you can do a keg stand they want to hire you.
