Pros

- working with some really smart people - flexible start and end time

Cons

- as a product (unfortunately) there doesn't seem to be product/market fit - never-ending cycle of losing customers - low team morale - managers have poor managerial experience and aren't interested in helping you grow - the culture is very strange, during my first week I went to meetings and nobody would introduce themselves

Pros

There is a decent opportunity to make a good amount of money in commission with hard work. Company Christmas party is pretty dope, too.

Cons

The majority of management is white and male. I've seen very few woman get promoted, but many overqualified woman get passed over for mediocre white dudes. They have lost a lot of quality employees as a result. Sales ops is incredibly disconnected. Incentives don't align with company mission. Reps have so many boxes to check that its easy to lose sight of the bigger picture.. I could go on and on but I'll leave it at this.. Groupon is a good place to start your career, but not a place to build your career.

Pros

Great diversity and friendly coworkers. Culture here is good.

Cons

It's a young tech company, I had never worked at one before, but all I have experienced is reactive decisions and chaos from my job experience. Bad communication from leadership from all levels. There is no clear professional development at my level. My manager gets constant training but none of that filters down to positive development for me or better management from her. A lot of this is specific to my manager but her boss also doesn't care about anything greater than results so she gets away with being a poor manager because she is good at delivering. Groupon is in a period of working to maintain consistency in their financials and that has lead to a lot of cost cutting. This is not a company you should come into for growth or career flexibility at this point. I think that strategically they are headed in the right direction but only time will tell if they are actually able to get out of the hole they're in. All my opinion. I plan to stay for a bit but this is not a place I see myself growing my career long term at.
