Vantaggi
Had a lot of pros earlier but not now. The only pro it has now is.... Well lemme think.. oh wait it's NOTHING.
Svantaggi
What used to be pros of the company are now cons of it. Right from the moment venture capitalists stepped in; the company is going to dogs. It's disheartening to see the current state of groupon. Earlier the company used to be a haven for the employees but now it's more like a one way trip to hell. The management fires employees without a prior intimation or notice. It's feels as if they wake up in the morning and think as to whom or which team should I fire. Doesn't matter if u are the best performer or the best performing team; you will be fired. This is not an exaggeration. People are being fired like a sport. Dusan and his team must learn proper people management. For them cost optimization is firing employees. A personal suggestion from my side to people looking to join Groupon. Please DON'T. Management now is least interested in your growth, your performance or your existence for that matter. What used to be a great company is now in the rabbit's hole. Look for some other better companies. All that these people care is money and I am not even talking about profit that you generate. Despite you being the top performer you will be be fired. And yes don't even expect an explanation from their side coz they won't. Strongly will never recommend this hell of a place to anyone. The mental and physical stress that they throw on you is not worth it.
