Everybody is so fresh and new at the company, the company only had 3years experiences and no body is able to predict the future of Groupon. Lack of career progression.

Pros

- Unlimited vacation (may soon be changing) - Young atmosphere - Increasing sales tools available

Cons

- Constantly changing goals and initiatives - Poor morale and increased micromanagement - Each market is run like a different company with different expectations - Management is in positions based on seniority and when they joined the company rather than qualifications.

Pros

Relaxed work environment. Flexible hours. Youthful energy. Unlimited PTO. Hands-off management.

Cons

Despite the goofy and unique company culture, the job really depends on the department. Some people LOVE their work, other people really get the shaft. It all depends on which department. The upper level management is incredibly out of touch with the general melancholy felt in certain departments, or if they are in touch, they do not care. They also operate with very little people management experience, which might frustrate you if you prefer guidance, focus, and support from your managers. Don't plan on spending long here, but while you're there, fight to find transferable skills. The lack of middle management opportunities mean that if you want to grow, you'll have to look elsewhere.
