Pros

Dynamic Work Environment: Experience the thrill of never knowing what's coming next, with surprise twists more frequent than a mystery novel. Creative Problem Solving: Hone your problem-solving skills daily, with problems you never knew could exist in the workplace.

Cons

Like being in a Kafkaesque version of "The Office," where reality and satire blend so seamlessly, you can't tell one from the other. Chaos as the Norm: Expect a whirlwind of disorganization and confusion, with 'management' more akin to a game of blindfolded darts. Prioritization of offshore shell company resources over internal resources. Ponzi-scheme vibes.

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.
