Pros

Groupon is easily the most unique and interesting office to work at and has some of the best employees and managers I've encountered in my professional work life. They easily recognize hard work and skills and quickly reward good performance with new job opportunities and skills. I gained a great deal of experience, confidence and professionalism in my years in this fun, quirky company.

Cons

My job was removed with no notice and most likely given to outsourced employees overseas. I was in great standing and frequently recognized by my own and other departments for my work and skills and was completely blindsided by their decision to lay off 130 employees in one go regardless of status. It shows that Groupon is above all a business and I'd advise anyone working there to be careful about planning to be there long term.

Pros

No pro’s whatsoever. If you’re thinking about joining this company, save yourself a headache and run.

Cons

“Burn and churn” culture with minimal long-term investment in employees. Limited support and inconsistent coaching from management. Quarterly quotas frequently change, directly impacting compensation and making earnings unpredictable. Commission, if you’re lucky to get any, gets paid every 3 months- if terminated, you lose out on THOUSANDS of your hard earned money Compensation does not align with responsibilities—BDRs are often expected to perform full-cycle sales functions similar to Account Executives on a low base salary, ($40,000) Once placed on a performance plan, there is little path to recovery and increased scrutiny follows. High-pressure onboarding environment—new hires are expected to close deals quickly, with limited ramp time. Promotions appear inconsistent and not always based on performance, which can impact team morale and leadership quality. Concerns raised to leadership or HR are not always addressed in a transparent or timely manner.
