Pros

Get to learn a lot quickly

Cons

The company is mostly run by Czech investors. * Company is mostly hiring contractors. * Existing Groupon employees are seen as idiots. * Mostly only hiring Czech employees. * Constant wave of promotion freezes. * Promotion freezes are gone for now and only Czech employees get promoted and especially to senior positions. * A good number of filled positions are friends of the Czech leaders and in some cases have no experience in the role. * Existing employees are over worked since 70% of engineering let go. * Unrealistic deadlines assigned without any consideration for work required or existing workload. * Constant org restructures * Constant change in priorities * Do not apply for Groupon. There is no career path or job security.

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
