J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Groupon (Palo Alto, CA) en mars 2016
Entretien
Phone interview as a pre-screen with a member of the team, good dialogue.
Despite letting them know I was booked for 2+ weeks, coordinator responded back with dates where I was unavailable and we had to reschedule 2 weeks out.
In person, personalities were frigid and unfriendly (you're NOT a leukemia research center, maybe your organization could benefit if you had a little fun or a personality). Management lacked communication/social skills and focus. Misalignment of the organization to target audience and market segment that company wants to focus on. When I asked management about the strategy they didn't have one. There was a clear issue with gender diversity; all interviewers on the list were male.
My second interviewer acted dicey towards the end of our conversation and I suppose the hiring manager pinged him. Of course, they sent the scheduling coordinator to break the news....they made sure to pay me a compliment before telling me I wasn't a good fit, but frankly I was ecstatic to leave as the feeling was mutual.
They blocked 5 hrs of time for interviews including a lunch hour but ended abruptly at noon without offering to at least buy lunch for wasting my day. It's normal to have adjustments to interview schedules before the interview gets started or substitutes due to conflicts but this was completely unprofessional and inconsiderate to a candidate's time.
Best advice for anyone interviewing here in the product management group here is that you'll need to be fine with wasting your time, rude/dicey behavior, poor communication, and gender bias.

Entretien
I was asked to create a case study. I invested nearly 12-14 hour to create a application which would allow merchants to publish deals on Groupon. It was a fully functional App calling Open AI to generate a deal and allow Merchants to publish the deal in just 3 clicks. There was a supporting video which I created,
Unfortunately I got the standard rejection template after 2 weeks. And my video had "no views". I am not even sure whether they even checked the app which I created.
Interview process was okay, but it was clear that they were interviewing for the sake of interviews. Clearly they had no intention to hire.
Would never go there back again.
