Pros
Groupon offers a flexible environment, supportive co-workers, and lots of great amenities that make working at Groupon something to be excited about. There is unlimited PTO, flexible hours, flexible dress code, employee resource groups, employee engagement, open seating plan, and many perks!
Cons
The "openness" and "quirky-ness" is not for everyone.

Pros
Casual work environment, fast paced, constantly evolving. Empowered teams and leaders, they care about your opinion and your development on their team. Work/life balance is great. Some teams let you work from home occasionally. Fun atmosphere.
Cons
Weighed down with process. A lot of the day to day is waiting on someone else's action to take place. Stop/go in workflow due to change in direction.
Advice to Management
More women in senior leadership positions. Take the time to know what your direct reports and their direct reports day to day challenges are.

Pros
The people are friendly and helpful, the technology is reasonably current, you have a lot of autonomy in choosing technical approaches, the problem spaces are interesting, and the work-life balance is very good.
Cons
It doesn't quite have the level of creature comforts that Google, Facebook, etc would offer, but it is very good.

Pros
Humble, helpful, and funny co-workers. Challenging work; there are a lot of opportunities to learn if you're motivated to grow.
Cons
Things move [very] fast, which might be off-putting to some people who like structure and set career paths. I personally see this as a plus for people who want to make a unique career for themselves. Also another opportunity to learn how to be nimble and adaptive.
Advice to Management
Keep taking employee feedback seriously.

Pros
Groupon easily has the best team I've ever worked with. People are truly friendly and supportive. Senior Management is accessible and far less hierarchical than other places. This doesn't mean they're directionless by any means, just that they value relationships with the staff. Office culture and events continue to improve. Work-life balance is great, and I actually enjoy waking up and going to work. Free food, great office location, transportation benefits, etc.
Cons
Still a bit of a start-up environment in some places, though that's improving.

Pros
There is a lot to like about Groupon in my experience. I've met a lot of very talented people, most of which are independent contributors.
Cons
Leadership can be immature. There are continuing efforts to improve in this area but the issues are still very visible.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing in terms of focusing on the local business.
