      Chaos and cliques everywhere

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Fast paced environment; feels like a startup - Use wide range of open source tech such as Node.js, RoR, Java, MySQL, PostreSQL, Redis

      Cons

      - not clear direction - lots of randomization - build software quickly, just ship it without quality in mind; quantity over quality

      Too many chiefs

      Senior sales consultant
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people I worked with were great. Based out in the field was THE hardest I've done and with the support of all field staff kept you going as all in same boat.

      Cons

      Management: what a mess. Putting your bottom line first before your employees is such negative approach to be used. No progression to be had unless based in London. Field Staff are treated with so much negativity. Future developments were not to be given. Only one training session when I started 4 years ago. Other than that the blind led the blind on all processes and procedures. All future developments were done with out negotitiation with the people it affects the most. Going from double wage in commission to less then £100 per month and no support from the powers that be to help - too much work and no return. Being an employee for 4 years an getting shares WAS a great incentive - now they are worth 1/4 of the original value.

      good brand - random and poor execution

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Groupon has good brand and IC's are friendly.

      Cons

      Top down approach, everything prescriptive from executive chain. In the spirit of moving fast, every system seems to be broken with bugs and live site issues. Coterie & exclusive clubs
