Pros

Compared to other e-commerce platforms - none really.

Cons

All the companies that experienced a downtown with the pandemic came back up but not Groupon. The stock even after reverse split (20 stocks combined into 1) continues to underperform. Constant shifting priorities. Strong leadership at C* level missing. There is a gap with CTO, CFO leaving. New CEO's new strategies are yet to come to the surface. Lot of old timers who sit and twiddle thumbs. No innovation and new ideas are immediately shot down. Pay is not on par with industry. Come here if this is your last option.

We appreciate the time you took to leave a review about your Groupon experience. We're sorry to hear your career experience hasn't been what you were hoping for, and we understand that some of the growth challenges we experienced at the start of the pandemic may be contributing to that. We're excited to welcome Kedar to #TeamGroupon as our new CEO and look forward to the teammates who will join us as CTO and CFO. New ideas, enthusiasm, and innovation are central to our go-forward strategy, so it is concerning to hear you have not found that to be true to your experience. We encourage you to share that feedback with your manager, the larger leadership team, or in our anonymous pulse surveys. Thank you again for sharing your feedback - it helps us understand where we can improve to provide the best employee experience possible for all Grouponers.

People, leniency, unlimited pto, casual work environment

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