Groupon Software Developer reviews

Bad management. You might be lost in your daily work

In retrospective it's pretty sad, coming from the upbeat and very human way in which Aaron and John ran the company through the pandemic, to the collapse of everything that was good that happened afterwards, honestly should've seen it coming judging from the way Aaron was replaced even though he managed to keep the company and the morale of the workers from sinking through COVID. The new management is absolutely deaf, Pulse surveys thinned out and then disappeared specially when Layoffs happened and chaos became the norm, at times it felt like the CTO wanted to thin the headcount by destroying every process we had, and making every work day a miserable experience. Most of the great people I knew that worked there were laid off or gone, lots of rumors that the goal is and always was to offshore all the technology team which is at odds with the supposed "local destination" message they wanted to convey. Whatever this company was 5 or even 2 years ago, it clearly isn't anymore. Pretty sad outlook overall. Compensation was average to below average
