Pros

One undeniable advantage of working here was the flexibility and the ability to adjust working hours to one’s lifestyle, which made it possible to maintain a healthy work-life.

Cons

Unfortunately, the downsides far outweigh this benefit. Management was weak at all levels, with a culture of micromanagement and a lack of consistency between strategic plans and actual decisions. There was also clear discrimination, with employees being treated unequally depending on their country of employment, and little to no respect for basic labor rights. I could list many more issues, but to summarize in one word: not recommended.

Pros

Some great people worked there, only a few left. Remote work.

Cons

Unless you have worked at Groupon previously, you’ll never make it. The C-Suite would give you whiplash with priorities and ‘strategy’ shifting every other week which screamed desperation. Running out of money and they’re trying to offshore most positions to save the company. No financial leadership or controls over finance, so no surprise burning cash like crazy. Flying people in for meetings (internationally) every 6 weeks while we’re bleeding money. No investment in product/technology since there’s no money. There’s one guy running the product/platform and when he leaves there will be nothing left. Meeting heavy and they were all redundant. Culture was horrible. The ‘AI’ platform we sold to clients was a joke, it was archaic at best. Constant rumors about company running out of money for payroll.
