If you're in engineering your set... if you're anyone else don't bother

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy to get stuff done -- If you're a strong willed individual, you can easily set direction and get stuff done. Experience opportunities -- If you have ideas and vision, you can write your own ticket. Though, don't expect a lot of help and/or mentoring. That is non-existent.

Cons

Long hours Benefits are lacking -- What company doesn't offer a 401K match? No tuition reimbursement. Work environment is terrible -- People are densely packed into benched style seating, which creates for an ultra loud environment (esp in sales). Office location is terrible -- The office location leaves a lot to be desired. Literally only two food options, unless you want lunch to be a project. At least a 10-15 minute walk to the train.

Pros

The sales staff is nice. They are educated, young, and ambitious to succeed. They have free beverages all day long.

Cons

Inexperienced management. Most have zero management experience. They simply got promoted after 2-3 months of fresh sales experience and treat people like dirt. Goals are set in place that no one reach. They are firing people left and right for no good reason. Cut commissions and eliminated bonuses. Sales staff make about 80% less than they did 5 months ago. Competition is fierce and Groupon is not making changes to counter what perks competition does for merchants. Move desks constantly and disrupts work. Required to work Saturdays. No cap for time off, but make it impossible to take a day off. They make you feel guilty to take a Saturday off to go to a wedding. Sales staff cries all the time. Editorial is unhelpful and rude which makes the job next to impossible. They do not care at all about merchants. They just push the merchants so far that they will never work with Groupon again. Noisy call center environment.

Pros

New Growing Busy workplace with exciting things going on around the company. I have met a lot of skilled people and there is a lot of smart thinking that goes with sales and marketing.

Cons

Sometimes, I feel a bit like my department is shut off from the rest of the company. Information is sometimes hard to get about the company's performance.
