Interview
After so many back and forth emails with the recruiter to set a phone interview with Groupon, I got a time slot. I was the one that asked the recruiters to set me an interview!!! However, after setting my interview, the interviewer (coding interviewer) called and I really enjoyed my phone interview with him and really appreciate him for such a pleasant experience. However, after we were done with the interview, the recruiter totally stopped contacting me!!! Basically, I send her a couple of emails and asked about the result of my interview and whether I passed or not. But, she did not respond at all!!! As if I was drop-dead!!! I, even, somehow, begged her to send me a rejection message so that I know that I have no chance with Groupon, but nothing!!! Unbelievably unprofessional to do so! I really feel disappointed with Groupon. I will never ever consider them one more time and will ask my friends to do so as well.
