Pros

People are the most smart and amazing people I’ve ever worked with. Work life balance is great.

Cons

Higher leadership does not have a business path and has a distorted view of how to run teams. Groupon is a sinking ship.

Thanks for taking a moment to leave a review about your Groupon experience. It's great to hear you're enjoying the fun and flexible culture we offer, and we have to agree - the people at Groupon are the best! We also appreciate your insights about where we can improve. Being such a flexible and fast-paced organization means that sometimes, communication can come too little or too late. We hear you, and it’s an area we’re always attempting to improve through team/department/organization All Hands, weekly business updates, and 1:1s with your manager. As Kedar and the STeam have outlined in these communication streams, our strategy moving forward will focus on improving our core marketplace experience, building inventory density, enhancing our customer experience, and leveraging marketing to drive purchase frequency and customer retention. We hope you've also had the chance to share this feedback or ask any questions of your manager, larger leadership team, or in our anonymous Pulse surveys. Thanks again for the review and for everything you contribute to Groupon's success!

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!
