I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2013
Interview
I met with 3 groups of people to discuss my interests and skills, then took a brief written / typing test on a computer. It was a mass interview in the sense that you were waiting in a lobby with other potential employees, but you met one-on-one with managers and employees from the department so it didn't feel impersonal.

Question 1
Various CS-style inquiries (such as if a customer called in and said their dog had died and wanted to return their dog-grooming voucher, what would you do?) and personal experience questions about previous work, hobbies, etc.
