Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to read that you felt compensation and benefits were good. However, we’re sorry to read that you didn’t find the work to be challenging. As a global company revolutionizing local commerce, we have a lot of interesting problems to solve but it’s certainly not a culture that suits everyone. Thanks again for your review.

Pros

Groupon has an incredible, engaging, & lively group of employees. Each employee brings their own unique self to work and it creates a fun environment. It is nice to come to work and know you're appreciated for who you are.

Cons

Career Progression is amazing at Groupon but works best for employees who raise their hand and inquire about it; Career Progression is not streamlined for all but is there.

Pros

Great diversity and friendly coworkers. Culture here is good.

Cons

It's a young tech company, I had never worked at one before, but all I have experienced is reactive decisions and chaos from my job experience. Bad communication from leadership from all levels. There is no clear professional development at my level. My manager gets constant training but none of that filters down to positive development for me or better management from her. A lot of this is specific to my manager but her boss also doesn't care about anything greater than results so she gets away with being a poor manager because she is good at delivering. Groupon is in a period of working to maintain consistency in their financials and that has lead to a lot of cost cutting. This is not a company you should come into for growth or career flexibility at this point. I think that strategically they are headed in the right direction but only time will tell if they are actually able to get out of the hole they're in. All my opinion. I plan to stay for a bit but this is not a place I see myself growing my career long term at.
