Pros

3 years ago i would have given Groupon 5 stars. It used to be an amazing company. Covid and the decision that resulted killed Groupon. There were so many of us trying to keep the culture and fun throughout the pandemic, but unfortunately decisions made by those in the captain's chair changed everything.

Cons

Kedar.....enough said. The end of Groupon as we knew it. Although he's no longer the CEO the damage by the board's decision to appoint him is done. Groupon is no longer the incredible culture and environment we all knew and loved. Don't do it. Groupon is dead. Culture is dead. Office life is dead. We're all gone. Everyone who was not laid off was smart enough to jump ship. Just say No.

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

Pros

-Nice office environment -Good location in River North -Compensation seems to be market rate to slightly above market -very intelligent people across the analytics teams

Cons

-extremely poor communications and execution of goals -outdated tech stack that was mostly built in-house -very little documentation of processes currently in place -STEAM seems like deer in headlights through covid-19. As a furloughed worker, there’s very little communication other than an extension of furlough to October -business model is dated and company is losing money hand over fist
