Pros

- Fast paced environment; feels like a startup - Use wide range of open source tech such as Node.js, RoR, Java, MySQL, PostreSQL, Redis

Cons

- not clear direction - lots of randomization - build software quickly, just ship it without quality in mind; quantity over quality

Pros

Groupon has good brand and IC's are friendly.

Cons

Top down approach, everything prescriptive from executive chain. In the spirit of moving fast, every system seems to be broken with bugs and live site issues. Coterie & exclusive clubs
