      Groupon was once promising, hot, and fun. Years of turmoil have left it weak.

      Pros

      Good pay and great benefits. Lots of opportunities to work on interesting and important projects, alongside people who are smart and fun.

      Cons

      Despite some shining stars, management is plain awful across the board. Inconsistent promotion practices, rampant ineptitude, lack of meaningful strategy, and absence of passion from so many who could make such a difference. Distributed offices are wildly out of touch with one another. Rivers of bureaucracy and politics run amok.

      Bogged down in corporate bureaucracy

      Pros

      If you're lucky, you will be paid well, but that entirely depends on the team and the manager. Some very smart people to work with.

      Cons

      It's a huge corporate behemoth at this point. Management is mostly clueless and is heavily based on brownnosing. Most of the developers hired in last 2 years don't care about writing good code. The process is getting more and more constricting. People are leaving and leaving.

      Pros

      Good people,mentorship from manager, great exposure

      Cons

      Poor work culture in Some offices due to entitlement issues of most employees. Is filled with Amazon rejects(not all of them are bad; but the group I worked for was ridiculous), Amazon rejects also play dirty politics and hire their friends without due process. People who aren't from Amazon are discriminated against very openly. In general, the environment in the team is very unethical in decision making, with no promotions to deserving employees and some managers even being abusive and unethical(sometimes illegal like revealing salaries and personal information to peers) and mostly just ganging up on team members. Fosters a very unhealthy attitude towards work and management. If you overwork people, atleast have the courtesy to pay them well. Only want their subordinates to sing their glowing praise and nod heads.
