Pros

What's good about Groupon is its fairly casual and international atmosphere. Plus there's free breakfast and coffee.

Cons

There's no job security and there were numerous mass lay-offs during my time there. The company seems to have double standards, one thing promised one day will be of no value the next day. There are barely any career opportunities but unfortunately a lot of ingrained nepotism.
