Pros

Awesome culture Lots of support by management Flexible personal growth Company is constantly changing in a good way

Cons

Training is still improving to adjust to a young, sales driven company Metrics to make as an inbound rep to move throughout the sales department can be challenging, but if you're willing to put in extra hours and stay on the phones all day...totally attainable Difficult to move around within company. if sales isn't for you, it's almost like they have nothing better for you to do

Pros

You’ll gain a newfound appreciation for life the moment you walk out the door.

Cons

Working at Groupon was, without exaggeration, one of the most dehumanizing experiences of my professional life. What began as a “let’s roll up our sleeves and save this sinking ship” mentality quickly turned into a draining, existential crisis. The company’s hiring strategy appears to prioritize candidates who may not be the strongest fit for the role, but who share one defining trait: a willingness to work like mercenaries. From there, employees are kept engaged through an ever shifting carrot of incentives that never quite materialize, sustained by an unpredictable sense of stakes that makes the environment feel perpetually unstable. The result is a culture where people spend more energy competing for survival and proving their worth than doing meaningful work. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This place is run by aspiring LinkedIn influencers who got one shot in their careers and care more about how it’ll read on their resume than about actually leading. The salary, the office views, and the “unlimited” PTO (you’ll still be working while you’re off, since you’re doing the job of four people from day one) don’t come close to offsetting the toxicity radiating from the top of this perpetually sinking ship.
