Real Truth about Groupon - Recensione dipendente - Sales presso Groupon

- Fun, energetic group of staff - Casual dress code - Great atmosphere with constant ad-hoc events around the office - Flexible working & work from Home (role dependant) - Opportunity to contribute to global growing business (not maintaining someone else's work) - Opportunity to work with peers in different countries & expand knowledge base (role dependant) - Paid sick days - Benefits that support key life decisions (wedding bonus & baby bonus) - Company promotes diversity ( PRIDE & Women groups) - Paid time off to volunteer for causes I should start by saying that this is not a 9-6 Company. If you are looking for a Company where you show up at 9 do your bit then leave at 6 on the nose this is probably not the best environment for you. This Company has been around for 4.5 years in Europe and what originally started as many individual entities has since started to transition to a single global organisation. A transition of this size & scope there are ultimately going to be challenges and frustrations- but there is also countless opportunities to have impact on the Company you work within and to gain a number of professional skills along the way. Money is being invested into management training for all people managers and with the new EMEA management leaders a bigger focus is being placed on employees. They encourage diversity, community and team events and teams receive training based on the changing needs of the organisation. After reading the other posts my unbiased opinion is that people have valid feedback however I think they are genuinely missing the size of the project at hand. Aligning 20+ countries in Europe to the globals objectives takes a lot of time and often one project needs to be completed in order to enable another. I have seen the Company with no benefits and rewards (every person in every position was paid below market) to a Company that matches market in terms of base comp (most roles) and also offers good benefits. I am very confident that this offering with continue to grow with the business. I highly recommend working here but stress it is for specific personality types. It is very challenging with constantly changing goal posts and deliverables. There can be long hours, lack of transparency and a general lack of communication and understanding between departments. But as someone who thrives in this environment I like the challenge of making it better, which I can see my role does.
