Groupon Response

Thanks for taking a moment to share this feedback. It's great that you're enjoying our culture and the flexibility we're able to offer employees, and we agree- Groupon is full of good people! We recognize this review comes after the difficult week Groupon recently faced as we announced our plan to streamline our cost structure, which included removing roles across the business. Of course, these decisions were not made lightly, but we believe they position Groupon to successfully execute our turn-around strategy. We also recognize your review touches on some areas of your role that may have become difficult as a result of these decisions. We're always looking for employee feedback, so we hope you've had the opportunity to discuss this with your manager, larger leadership team, or in our anonymous pulse surveys. Thanks again for the review and for all you contribute to Groupon's success!

People, leniency, unlimited pto, casual work environment

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