Pros

'Fun' work environment if you work in a department with a high turnover, you can basically get away with playing ping pong all day while other departments pick up your slack Bar downstairs to complain in after work 'Flexible' 'unlimited' time-off schedule, unless you exceed 15 days off in which case you'll have to plead your case as to why you deserve to have a life outside of the coupon factory

Cons

Half off your deal AND your salary Taking advantage of temps/outsourcing crucial roles/teams to third world countries to make the shareholders happy Hands off management due to promoting based on nepotism and favoritism

Pros

Standard tech company benefits like free soda and funky furniture.

Cons

My manager was completely incompetent. Luckily he has since left the company. Some of the people I worked with here were very conniving and threw their teams under the bus in order to score a few points from management. Groupon tried to bill itself as "the next Amazon" but did not have the engineering talent or management structure to support that claim. Instead, you got a lot of horrible leaders who were only in their position because they happened to be there when Groupon was growing. As a result, GRPN (at least in engineering) was a revolving door. I saw several people start with enthusiasm only to leave after a month. Now that the company is older and clearly is not the next Amazon, you would expect that they would change their management style and try to retain engineers, but from what I have heard they are actually doubling down on the aggressive "bro" culture and shipping jobs to India or Ireland.
