Behavioral Technical
I found the job on LinkedIn and had a quick phone chat the very next day. It was pretty chill and mostly about my past jobs and some common behavioral questions. Then, later that week, I went in for an in-person interview. I met with the recruiter again, and also the head of the department and the regional sales manager. We talked more about my experience and how I deal with stuff. They made me an offer a few days later. Everyone was really nice and the office vibe was super relaxed and young, but I decided it wasn't the best fit for me.

Behavioral Technical
I had a phone interview first, and then a face-to-face interview. Both interviews went well. I had worked with a career coach for 3 months beforehand and was able to answer the questions superbly. I was shocked when I wasn't extended an offer. Yet, as I think back there were several red flags that came up during the interview process. Their website and job description state they are looking for diversity and experience. After visiting their office, I observed this being FAR from the truth. They walked me around their Call Center and I didn't see any black people. In a city like Chicago this would never happen accidentally. In addition most of the employees appeared to be younger than 30. I was interviewed by two white males; both under the age of thirty. Both, admitted to not having much sales experience before Groupon. Groupon definitely has a type. They have a type they are looking to hire; and middle age or minority isn't it.

Behavioral Case
I had an in at the company, applied online and then was invited to their HQ in Chicago. The interview process was pretty straightforward and it's basically a call center. I interviewed with two managers and a recruiter walked me out. During the tour, on the third floor, we walked into the media area and there was a guy puking in the garbage. They have a work hard, play hard mentality but that was unprofessional. Also, there was more than one beer can lying around their office. Besides that, everything else was fine, still waiting to hear back.
