Pros

Fun people, clients are interesting and diverse

Cons

Product/service can be overpriced for clients, hard to explain, and the vision is tough to see. Sales reps are scared to underperform because there's a fast trigger on firing reps. Giving a 30-day PIP shouldn't always result in a firing after 1 week OTE is unrealistic and misleading. Leads don't align with priorities and either go nowhere or we are told to pass off to off-shored SDR team

Pros

Some great people worked there, only a few left. Remote work.

Cons

Unless you have worked at Groupon previously, you’ll never make it. The C-Suite would give you whiplash with priorities and ‘strategy’ shifting every other week which screamed desperation. Running out of money and they’re trying to offshore most positions to save the company. No financial leadership or controls over finance, so no surprise burning cash like crazy. Flying people in for meetings (internationally) every 6 weeks while we’re bleeding money. No investment in product/technology since there’s no money. There’s one guy running the product/platform and when he leaves there will be nothing left. Meeting heavy and they were all redundant. Culture was horrible. The ‘AI’ platform we sold to clients was a joke, it was archaic at best. Constant rumors about company running out of money for payroll.
