RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Groupon full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Unlimited PTO, awesome office culture, young and flexible management, ability to move between departments and move up, tons of different opportunities (sales, account management, creative roles, etc.)
Cons
Management is short-sighted and willing to lose valuable employees, lots of turnover
Advice to Management
Pay your employees better based on industry standards and be flexible with valuable employees in order to keep them around - the more people who leave will make other employees feel unstable or unsure if they should stay too.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Groupon full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Friendly and smart people, great and diverse company culture, nice office and amenities. They seem to be focused on gauging and improving employee satisfaction, maybe due to past turnover. I love my manager and I like the people I’ve met up the chain too. They’re very involved and helpful, and I like having the weekly manager one on one. Lots of people have stuck around 5+ years. Challenging problems to work on at scale. Good benefits too.
Cons
Not great base compensation for engineers. There have been some high profile departures recently. Poor stock performance. Some startup tech baggage and slow evolution. Uncertainty about long term company prospects, lack of growth. Weak hiring pipeline. Agree with other reviewers saying it’s a great company with a somewhat weak business model.
Advice to Management
Need better engineering hiring pipeline. More engagement from senior management. The last quarterly meeting was weak.
