Pros

For starters, specially if they get to be friends with the German C-Level, it can be an intensive experience.

Cons

Scams, total lack of respect for people, management completely unaware of what's happening and not caring about employees, costs, processes or anything that is not sales

Pros

-Free fruits and soda -Free beer every fortnight - Amazingly beautiful Women - Young people

Cons

7 months ago, when I started to work for Groupon Brazil, I saw a chaotic environment, with its own beauty, growing fast and with a lot of oportunities. The company was working with a huge lack of processes, and since the managers start to map this process and make them work, the company will start to grow in the right way. But nobody seems interested on making the company be a better place to work. Everybody is upset about the way things are happening here, and the a lot of good people and some managers (including the brazilian COO) are leaving the company. The CEO doesn't look to care about the employees, the worst employees are promoted and they don't seems to trust brazilian employees, neither understand the brazilian customer mind.All the good ideas, the innovation and the joy of working for Groupon disappeared when the "make money - doesn't matter how, or we'll fire you " philosophy cames in.

Pros

Dynamic environment, people are eager to make it happen, lot of opportunities to innovate.

Cons

Managers are too young, sometimes their decisions are based on poor or non existing data. Most of the project and initiatives are terribly planned. For some processes and decisions is very hard to find out who is the owner. Heard more than 1 time that looks like some employees are "against" the company, due to the many obstacles they put to solve problems; many goofy processes.
