Pros

Groupon is a great place to work, with a friendly and supportive team culture. I had the opportunity to work on meaningful projects alongside talented and helpful colleagues. The company encourages continuous learning and knowledge sharing, and there are strong opportunities for career growth. Managers are approachable and open to new ideas. The tech stack is modern, offering a lot for developers to learn and grow. The leadership team is committed to building a better product and a stronger company, always working to support growth and improve the customer experience. Despite the usual ups and downs, I really valued my time at Groupon.

Pros

Relatively competative salary but they'll make sure to milk you for what they pay.

Cons

Micromanagement hell. You have to fill timesheet daily where tasks cannot exceed 4hr per task. Then fill weekly report on the work. Apart from regular daily standups, you have mid sprint reviews, sprint demos. EVERY sprint you are overloaded by underestimating the tasks by design. To top this off, you are made to do 24x7 on call support WITHOUT extra pay, and expected to complete sprint tasks. Managers are the worst. It feels like a they were hired from a set of construction contractors rather than software companies. Also the company is failing financially and cutting costs everywhere. Bottomline: A failing company with no growth where you are overworked and micromanaged with ZERO work life balance

Pros

Salary is good Work is also technical good

Cons

They mostly hire contractor in Europe So for India location is not good to join. They usually hire employee by giving them some extra salary and fire them in 6 months or 1 year. The way they do layoff is rude, without prior notice HR will join in your 1:1 with manager and announced the termination and in few minutes they remove the access.
