Pros

Awesome place to work as a developer. Engineering is still very small - they have some of the best people around. Work hours are still sane - not bad compare to other startups. A lot of exciting things to be built and a great opportunity to learn and grow

Cons

The press seems to be very anti-groupon nowadays, which is unbelievable. Groupon still has a lot of potential which people fail to understand - I am sure Groupon will go a long way

Pros

Worldwide leader in its field (size)

Cons

- HUGE culture change 2 months ago with new Management - Recent comp plan and commission change made this job not worth the hard work, sweat and tears. - Not focused on win-win-win (merchant-customer-Groupon) anymore. All about $$$$$$$$. This used to not be the case. We structured win-wins, but now its all about whats best for Groupon.

Pros

They recognize and reward talent. If you can get the job done, whether it is selling, managing people, or creating a new product, it gets recognized and you are top of mind when big roles open up or get created. The atmosphere is casual and fun but direct. Most people are no BS.

Cons

Constant change. It still moves at the pace of a startup so you have to be ready to be flexible and adaptable. You can't wait for perfection before acting. Now that the company is bigger, this can mean that it is harder to change, but there is always a way to get it done...the burden is on you to be creative. There is not much formal training beyond job basics. You have to be resourceful and a good self manager in every role here. And you can't have thin skin. If you're not cutting it, be prepared to hear about it. You'll have a chance to get back on track and some support, but you have to get past any anxiety and just show results.
