Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2016
Interview
Submitted my application 7 weeks before being contacted. I had a phone screening with Talent Acquisition and was then invited to interview in person. I got a brief tour of the office with TA, and was led to a meeting room. I met with 2 department managers for about 30 minutes each. I was led out by Talent Acquisition, who sounded very optimistic about an offer. The interview took place on a Friday, and I was told that I would find out by the following Monday (at the latest) with an offer. I did not hear anything on Monday. I followed up via email with TA for an update on my application, and was told Tuesday afternoon that I would hear a response by the end of the week. I was not contacted until the following Monday.

Question 1
If you were thrown into this position with no training, how would you handle it?
In person interview to walk through experience and knowledge as well as problem solving focused interview questions. Sales experience and pitching are also a focus of the overall final interview.
It was pretty easy. There was a call with a recruiter that included some simple questions and felt more like conversations and then an in person interview with the manager(s) in the Groupon Chicago office.
