Groupon reviews

Changes in every aspect of the job constantly. From the way you present to the way you track leads to the way you are evaluated. The only thing that remains constant is the fear of losing your job. No one is safe, ever. You can exceed your goal for gross profit and still lose your job. You can be a valued and loyal member of your team and still lose your job. You can follow every crazy new plan they ask of you and still lose your job.

Most people are underpaid for their positions, can go elsewhere, do the same work, and get paid more. Staff skews very young which leads to a unprofessional culture. No stability on every front: rules and workflows change on people's whims, management on every level is rapidly changing, priorities shift daily. Has mistaken having no real road map with being "agile". Tries to behave like a start-up when it's operationally larger than most companies. No real road map for advancement, chances for advancement are extremely limited since positions are often created out of thin air and the staff is so young that no one moves except for horizontally from department to department. Departments are wildly different in how they operate so one department might be great while another one might not be. Work/life balance varies wildly from position to position, department to department. "Unlimited paid time off" leads to an environment where people are afraid to actually take time off lest they appear like they are slacking off or greedy.
