I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2014
Interview
I applied online, was contacted within 48 hours by a recruiter who set up a phone screen/interview which was pretty basic. We had a great chat, very real, very comfortable. They like people who are themselves and not in "interview" mode I think. He set up the next interview for 4 business days later, which I was told would be the last interview in the process. I got a tour of the office when I arrived by my recruiter, which is sweet, they're definitely a young group (think 20s and early thirties). Afterwards I met with one manager one on one who asked pretty hard performance questions. It took about 30 minutes. Then I met with another manager for half an hour, we had a more personality interview. My recruiter walked me out and said they'd contact me within the week if they needed another interview or had a decision after they all reviewed notes. Within 24 hours I received an offer. My biggest suggestion would be to be yourself and to be enthusiastic.

The process takes place over three interviews generally. A phone Interview with the recruiter and then you'll be offered a chance to come in and meet with the hiring managers. You typically meet with two of them when you come in for two separate interviews. From there you are hired into their Inbound Sales Team which is something of a Junior Sales pool where you are trained in the process.
