Pros

Great coworkers (leadership aside) and remote work

Cons

-Low pay -Horrible, disorganized leadership (One example: CEO Kedar Deshpande sent out a company-wide email on NYE to let us know that no one would be getting an annual bonus. The timing and content of this email was one of the most bizarre communications I’ve ever received from a leader. This is just one of many examples of awful leadership I’ve encountered at Groupon.) -The company is now being run by a PE firm out of Eastern Europe, and their only goal is to strip all the value out of the company before they sell out

Not many cons. People are really cool.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
