I applied online. I interviewed at Groupon in Oct 2018
Interview
Applied on-line, contacted by recruiter via email to schedule a date/time to speak. Very old-school approach (walk me through your resume), and then in her rush to describe the role in more detail, she let it slip that internal candidates had been identified, but tried to recover with "we are also interested in what someone from the outside could bring to us." STOP WASTING CANDIDATES TIME IF YOU ARE GOING TO FILL INTERNALLY. This is such a BS move. State "Strong Internal Candidate Identified" on your req.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon in Sep 2016
Interview
First I had a screen with HR. The recruiter was well versed in the role and the team and much better prepared than any recruiter I've dealt with in the past. Then I had a phone screen with the hiring manager where we discussed some scenarios related to the job and how my background fits those. Finally I had an in person interview where I met with 6 people over four hours. The interviews ranged from standard questions to scenarios to general chats about fit and the company.
