RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Groupon full-time for more than 6 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.

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Groupon full-time for more than a year
Pros
Manager recognizes real hard workers and rewards them accordingly. Training is tight and works to keep people on trends and being able to offer a great product and platform.
Cons
The experience that I outlined in the pros is not available for everyone at Groupon and managers are forced to hold members back to keep their departments afloat. The employee experience that Groupon advertises as a great work environment is only available if you are at the top.
Advice to Management
Make a more diverse STEAM and be honest about titles.

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

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"

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...
