Pros

I did love working at Groupon, but because of the friends I made there. It was a fun place to work once. It was also great to be able to wfh and have flexibility.

Cons

A lot has changed over the years. Groupon isn't the "crazy fun" place anymore. They fully rank quantity over quality - jobs are being outsourced to Poland and India. They laid off hundreds of people in the middle of a Thursday afternoon with no warning. It's also near impossible to get promoted there. There is no growth; people are quitting like crazy. It's a sinking ship.
