Pros

The benefits are good, I liked my coworkers a lot, and the company really seems to be trying to do right.

Cons

The current manager of the android team is just not doing his part to keep expectations of product in line. In the last 6 months I worked there half the team quit after a huge project overflowed into day-to-day life at the company. Burnout is talked about but no concessions are given. Even the "unlimited PTO" they offer comes with strings attached and disapproval on multiple fronts. I couldn't recover from burnout and left.

Pros

Learned a great deal here. My first big guy job and the responsibilities kept me focused and motivated. I grew a lot as a person at Groupon as well

Cons

Not many cons. People are really cool.

People, leniency, unlimited pto, casual work environment

Cons

Disconnected leadership makes working here extremely frustrating. Changes are made that don’t directly help anything.
