Good Pay, Lots of Learning, Nice and Supportive Colleagues

Pros

- The scale at which Groupon operates is phenomenal, people will learn a lot who are early in their careers (< 5 years) - Can't say the pay is the best, but it is good. - Manager (at least mine) pays a lot of attention towards WLB and learning (this seems to be a company culture) - Mid year promotions and raises.

Cons

- There is a lot of undocumented legacy code. - Sometimes WLB takes a toll, meetings start at 10 in the morning and they are scheduled for nights too. - The product and engineering is going through a lot of change.

Not a company to grow long term at

Business Outlook

Pros

--Unlimited PTO and work life balance heavily promoted: very flexible managers promoting taking time off to prevent sales burnout, competitions to win half days/full days, general sense of time off to enjoy. Feel very respected with the unlimited PTO.  --Great direct management: direct managers provided with good tools to coach and help grow sales reps, great initial learning skills for sales cycle -Initial upward mobility --Good starting job out of college and strong company brand recognition.  --Fully remote for sales (could be seen as a pro or con depending on the person)  --Very easy to hit quota, nobody even has to try that hard to get it. Good pay for how simple the work is. --Good benefits  --Great diversity and inclusion program, very open minded and makes this a priority for employees

Cons

--Awful upper management: specifically at an RVP level in Merchant Development, they don't provide any follow up or action taken within the department, we are treated very immaturely (for example, we are sent reminders on how to turn on an out of office signature - seems demeaning for teams that have been here for 4+ years), another RVP sends daily emails about personal reflections/life coaching which feels inappropriate --Rude communication from other departments that seem to work against you (specifically Risk Management who berates sales reps daily and even gets in fights with sales managers- about everyone on my team has gotten yelled at for spelling a name wrong in emails, etc.) - doesn't create an inclusive workspace --Groupon doesn't seem to put businesses first, it shows with merchant retention and new business --Very slow and not a lot of work - our team has asked to take on other verticals or projects since some days we have less than 1 hour of work given our vertical is so slow. Doesn't seem to be a general desire for management to help teams find additional work. --Trajectory of business/business outlook not strong --Promotion cycle for roles is tedious and vague (has taken some reps 3-4+ years versus some at 8 months)

We're so glad to hear you find value in our flexible culture and have developed strong relationships with your coworkers! We're sorry to hear you haven't found working at Groupon to be fun - one of our core values is to "make life less boring," which we believe should apply to work, too. We hope you've had the chance to check out several of our recently implemented initiatives, like Fun Days and the Grab Life by the Groupon campaign. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your experience working at Groupon!
