RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Groupon full-time for less than a year
Pros
DNA of the organization = good humans who are smart. Engineering resources are top notch. Moved effectively and in a supportive way to work remote as Covid-19 impacted the company. When layoffs happened as a result of economic conditions, company leadership stayed respectful and empathetic in the face of a tough situation. New leadership is closely focused on priorities, staying transparent and leading change.
Cons
It's hard work to change; so this is a place for decisive, courageous people who can solve problems in ways they haven't been solved before.
