Pros

The working environment is really good and you have the opportunity to learn a lot of things about how a massive e-commerce platform is architected and managed. Opportunities for travelling in the US, training. There are also some great very smart people.

Cons

everything depends on the team and the projects, but sometimes there isn't a clear plan and guidance on what the team's plan is.

Pros

Groupon, I can at least talk about Palo Alto campus, is a great place to work. I really like my coworkers, the culture, having free snacks and lunch.

Cons

One thing that bothers me is the time off policy. There is no predefined PTO. You may technically take any time off as long as your manager's approve. Though, at the end of the people end up taking less time off.
