It's a fairly quick process. There is a phone interview with a recruiter that knows nothing about the position. If they "like" you and think that you'll "fit in" they pass you onto the manager of the department. When you get your in-person interview there are usually 3 or 4 people you will meet with. Sometimes they will all come in together, sometimes separate. One is a "culture" interview. No need to worry about this as most people have never interviewed someone, so just make sure you can relate to them. As long as you can bridge whatever experience you have in the past with what you'll be doing, you'll be fine. All software is easy to learn.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LivingSocial (Washington, DC) in Aug 2015
Interview
The interview lasted about an hour. I had two meetings back to back, each with two managers. As far as interviews go I felt it was pretty reasonable. It was challenging as all interviews are, but definitely not overwhelming to too intimidating.

Question 1
How would you tell someone over the phone how to buckle their seatbelt?
I applied online. I interviewed at LivingSocial (Washington, DC)
Interview
This was a several-hour process, whereby my 4-5 people rotated into the room and asked different questions. While many focused on my previous experience, there were also many cultural related questions which were meant to see how I would fit in within the department and company as a whole. The people were all friendly and all of the questions were pretty typical interview questions, nothing supremely unique

Question 1
How do you handle working with a partner/business who is disappointed or wants something different than what LivingSocial is willing or able to offer?

Interview
I got an email for a phone interview about a week after I submitted my resume and cover letter. Interview went fine. Recruiter asked about my background and then some questions related to the position. Told me she'd let me know if I was chosen for the next round the following day, and then didn't. I followed up via email two days later, and she said "we think you're overqualified but we'll let you know." Haven't heard from her since. I just read the employee reviews and am kind of glad that this didn't work out.

Question 1
No difficult questions, really. It was just a scoping out call.
