I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Groupon (Sydney) in Nov 2020
Interview
I was contacted by a really lovely HR representative for an introductory call. I got a really good sense of the company and role just in that first call. I was updated regularly and given lots of opportunities to ask questions and to gain feedback.

I applied online. I interviewed at Groupon (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2024
Interview
Phone Call interview with recruiter. She invited me to go for the next steps. I was scheduled for a 1 hour google meet with managers. That interview was canceled two days beforehand by another recruiter that I never even spoke with, she said she canceled all existing interviews due to "hiring pause" and that she will reach out as soon as they can reschedule. I emailed both recruiters after I received that message and no response! Pretty unprofessional, unorganized, and lack of communication. During this same time, I have interviewed with other large companies and the recruiters were better at every single company.
