I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Groupon in Apr 2013
Interview
Submitted my resume online on their careers website.Got a call from recruiter within 2 days and was asked to schedule a technical phone interview.
It was a typical technical interview , with questions on my resume , projects and few algorithmic and data structure questions. Was asked to the code problems in the language of my choice using some online editor tool. I am a non native english speaker , so was the interviewer . I didn't understand her properly and had to ask her to repeat the questions like zillion times .It was truly arduous for both of us. Apart from that everything went good. She was very nice and even gave hints when I was struck.I am waiting on the result of the interview .
