Pros

Some of the smartest people I've ever worked with are here

Pros

Having fun is one of the company core values, very smart people who are great to work with, open to me working remotely, unlimited PTO, free food, great perks.

Cons

Scattershot strategy - different business units sometimes pull in different directions, putting strain on the groups (like mine) that serve all of them. As groups have grown from start-up mode, they still retain the lightweight business processes that work for small teams. However, in some cases, more structure is needed when teams get larger.

Pros

If you are not a technology worker, Groupon maybe a great place to work. With failings of the daily deal business model, which still gets much attention, they are trying many new business ideas to see if any stick. There are a number of places for a person's skill set to fit. The building environments in both Palo Alto and Chicago are quite nice.

Cons

Groupon tries to present itself as a technology company, which is most defintely not. With it's current turn around plan to become more than just a daily deals site, they are going up against large and established competitors like Amazon or newer more agile tech companies like Square. The biggest con I see is that there may not be a real future of success.
