Pros

Casual dress code, friendly environment, nice office, flat hierarchy

Cons

No career progression opportunities unless you are married or engaged to one of the members of the upper management team, underpaid and expected to work long hours without any over time payments, employees who are good at sucking it up can be transferred easily to the APAC team and can look upon you althought they do not have enough expertise or technical knowledge, middle and upper managers are not equipped with relevant technical knowledge and skillbase, frequent restructuring processes and as a result, redundant people, although the number of employees are around 220, more than 750 people were employed within the last 2 years (just to show you the turnaround), useless HR, all they do is hiring and firing, that is all ! , no job secuirty

Pros

Freedom, flexibility of my position which is/was an "outside" sales role.. ... Really, thats about all... The team was close/great relationships on the team. Did very well in the company and was completely unvalued.

Cons

Everything, where do I start? ... First off, don't go for the position just because the company "Groupon" is hiring you.... Please read: - Commission changes EVERY 3-5 weeks. Changes as in structure. Yes a low base with constant commission changes where you could NEVER know what you are making. - Empty promises promising you the world. And never ever fulfilling the promises with you having to constantly understand, "give it time." They "over promise and under deliver.".... What you should never do as a person, let alone company. Constantly... - Never get answers! Always a "we'll get back to you" from management. Or "give it 45 days for the change" which nothing ever happens. They expect so much out of you, when they give you nothing really. Too many changes, it's a roller coaster leading to disaster.
