I applied for the position through the LivingSocial website and was contacted by a recruiter for a phone interview. The phone interview lasted for approximately 20 minutes and asked basic questions like what I knew about LivingSocial and my background. At the end of the phone interview I was offered an in-person interview which was scheduled for a little over a week later. I was contacted by one person to confirm the email and was told to come to the office and ask for him or another employee, but I don't think I actually met either of them and was interviewed by a separate panel of 5 people. The panel members said that they were trying out a new interview format which was sort of interesting and I did a couple of role plays along with an exercise where I had to guide one of the panel members through how to make one of those origami fortune teller things. Couple of things: the office is pretty noisy, so if you prefer to work in a quieter environment this may not be the place for you. I wasn't sure if it was because most people were just getting to work or if it is just always like that, but during my afternoon phone interview I sometimes had trouble hearing the person I was speaking with because of background noise. I think there was also music playing when I arrived for my in-person interview. Other applicants have mentioned the 'hipster' vibe and I got that too but I'm sort of hipsterish so that doesn't bother me. Lots of young people but I also fit that demographic. All of that aside I found everyone I interacted with to be very warm and friendly. One thing that I did find sort of weird was that when I asked for the names of the people who interviewed me(for thank-you purposes) I was told that they couldn't give out email addresses and everyone gave me their first name only. I've never encountered that before but I guess I understand why they might be hesitant to give out too much info.

It was honestly really easy and light. I just kept it fun. They asked the basic questions- what my past customer service experiences were, why I was interested in this job, etc. I have heard them ask some people if to tell a joke, so google some clean jokes before you go!
