Pros

Groupon's brand is still strong. You get to see a piece of technology that millions of people are using, and is built by some of the most brilliant minds in the world -- and you're going to be working very closely with some of the smartest people in the world.

Cons

People are leaving because they think Groupon is "a sinking ship", which is not necessarily true, while this is leaving a lot of opportunities for career advancement at Groupon.

Pros

The benefits are good, I liked my coworkers a lot, and the company really seems to be trying to do right.

Cons

The current manager of the android team is just not doing his part to keep expectations of product in line. In the last 6 months I worked there half the team quit after a huge project overflowed into day-to-day life at the company. Burnout is talked about but no concessions are given. Even the "unlimited PTO" they offer comes with strings attached and disapproval on multiple fronts. I couldn't recover from burnout and left.
