Not true to the fun and vibrant company image - Anonymous employee Groupon Employee Review

The company is far fro the fun, "Google like" image they like to portray. It is in fact a rather harsh environment with lots of communication barriers and little interdepartmental collaboration and where independent thinking is quashed. Also, there is little transparency. Lots of things happen behind closed doors causing a sense of distrust. This is not helped by the fact that it is a highly political environment. Neither management nor HR are willing to listen to problems.
