Pros

- Full of talented and nice people - Relaxed dress code - Decent pay depending on role - Fruit every other day - Health insurance

Cons

- Management are imbeciles. Inexperienced and only promoted because they've been there the longest - Pay increases are rare to non-existent - Not much of a chance to be creative - Holiday and sick allowance - No chance of development whatsoever. No training. You can only move around in the company but you'll hardly ever be promoted or learn a new skill - Other than sales, they do not invest money in any other department - Long hours - They want 100% but will not match this with appropriate rewards

Pros

The same things you have read over and over: flexible time off, extremely casual dress code, flexible hours, free pop, unique office space, fun company events. A lot of people speak negatively about Groupon, but I think it should be appreciated for what it is. If you've ever worked in a stuffy office with a lot of needless red tape and rules, you will appreciate what they are offering!

Cons

Management is young, arrogant, and ignorant in many cases. In my experience, your manager will not view you as a colleague, but as a threat, so they will try to talk down to you and keep their thumb on your head. Senior management constantly contradicts lower level management and etc. It's really just a bit silly!

Pros

There are a lot of eager and hardworking kids at the company but it seems like 90% of employees here are inexperienced and under the age 25.

Cons

Management cannot be trusted and most employees feel this way. There are constant lies from management and you find out most things from other employees well in advance of management making announcements. There is pretty much no work life balance and you'll need to plan on working pretty much all hours of the day. Management's priorities constantly shift and don't follow any principles set for the company. It's pretty much up to whatever regime is in power at that time. This place has also turned into a good old boys club. If you're not related to someone in senior management or friends with them... doesn't matter what skills or merit you bring to the table - all doors are shut and you have no chance at progressing your career from your current role.
