Pros
It's the most successful Internet start-up in Chicago history. Some good people have stuck it out and are still there.
Cons
It's a giant global company, run by big company execs who want to move slowly, control spending, and avoid innovation. The guy who wrote the Good to Great book came in to talk with upper management about the symptoms of companies that had been early innovators and ultimately failed, and Groupon shared every symptom. All of the best innovative early leaders/execs have moved on to other companies.
