I have been working at Groupon full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Awesome company culture, great benefits, fun place to work, good people, pretty good room for growth.
Cons
Lot of issues that are simply "on the roadmap" to be fixed––likely due to the occasionally poor collaboration between departments.
Advice to Management
Keep pushing forward and ignore the short-term headwinds. Get "in the weeds" with lower-level reps/employees to get a better, truer understanding of how our processes work.

Long term ambitions hampered by short term focus
I have been working at Groupon full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Culture
Location
Weekends free
Free drinks
Promote within
Cons
Non stop call center
Micromanaged activity
Scripted process
Advice to Management
Low merchant knowledge of good value from a marketing company that uses mostly word of mouth marketing for themselves. Yet the implemented restrictive sales techniques require you to not talk about the best aspects of value upfront
I have been working at Groupon full-time
Pros
Young office with a lot of good people
Cons
Does not treat their employees well
Advice to Management
Be more honest to the merchants we work with and be transparent to employees about business decisions.
I have been working at Groupon full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Casual dress code, very talented people & ability to impact the consumer marketplace at Scale.
Cons
1) Sr. leadership continues leaving the company (VP/GM/C-Level). As each change occurs it has a downstream impact as the new leader tries to "learn Groupon" and settle into their new role. Most stay for less than 2 years.
2) The company is still not sure who they want to be and we continue working toward a north star that is unclear to everyone. "A daily utility"

I have been working at Groupon full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
BCBS
WFH flexibility
Unlimited vacation (pending manager discretion)
Lots of room for improvement
Lots of fun projects to work on
Constantly changing, making it a good place to get experience in adapting
Very comfortable culture
Work hard play hard
Cons
I've been on a couple different teams so I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly.
- Executive leadership at GP has been a problem since I've started and before.
- It's hard to get data shared or even obtained here, but that's slowly starting to change
- The marketing team has poor leadership but that also provides an opportunity to prove yourself as a go-getter. People have climbed the ladder that way.
- That being said, we've gone through a lot of changes this past year and things are looking much more promising. I'm very excited for the future here.
Pros
Great employee care and perks. Nice offices.
Cons
Occasional errors with pay, and instances of bad communication.
