Process
Initially, I was contacted by a technical recruiter who asked questions about my resume and interests. At the end of the call, I was given an assignment to write a test case and a program to test the 'all deals' page of the Groupon website. I was given a week to complete it and could use any framework or language.
After this, I was scheduled for another phone interview. It lasted 30 minutes and consisted only of behavioral questions. I was also asked to narrate a couple of test cases.
Questions
Test case to check an elevator.
Program to shuffle a bundle of cards from the card game.
Why did you apply for the test engineer position?
How do you manage projects if you are falling short of time to complete them?

- 2.0Could be betterSoftware Engineer in Data Warehouse • Former EmployeeChicago, Illinois, United StatesDecember 1, 2022Pros: Benefits are great: unlimited PTO, the RSU amount was good, and the sign-on bonus was great.Cons: Management changes frequently. I was laid off, and they took back a large portion of RSUs that weren't vested. Sinking ship.
- 2.0Full of chaos and politicsSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeePalo Alto, California, United StatesApril 25, 2015Pros: Unlimited PTO makes you get more vacations if your manager is nice. Get your hands dirty early and try many state-of-the-art technologies. Most of the colleagues are nice.Cons: Absolutely disorganized. Priorities keep changing because management needs to shift focus (short-term). Profit is the only concern, and it leads to much chaos and politics. Some managers tend to micromanage and disrespect people. As a result, the turnover rate is very high.
