Pros: None, I repeat none. It used to be a good company, but sadly, every good engineer has left.

Cons: The list is quite big. I would start with the worst engineering leadership and management. These people are literally asking developers to propose new changes in the product after comparing with market competition. So, basically, a developer will not just propose the solution and code the solution, but they will eventually define the problem and solve it as well. God knows how the leadership works here. VP and director are just for politics and good for nothing. They openly ask people to leave after working for a few years and threaten others even if you are working well. Please beware of these two gentlemen. The work is stagnant. They will ask you to revive a product which is already dead.

Pros: Groupon offers a strong opportunity to work on large-scale, high-traffic systems alongside talented and experienced colleagues. The fast-paced environment supports continuous learning across various e-commerce domains, such as: * Logistics * Payments * Customer experience * Merchant experience * Experimentation * Deal management Teams promote a collaborative and supportive culture, making it a good environment for skill development and real-world problem-solving.

Cons: Like most growing companies, Groupon experiences fast-changing priorities, which can sometimes impact long-term planning and focus.

Pros: Platform Evolution: Groupon is becoming a next-generation local marketplace built on distributed systems, AI, and cloud infrastructure. Technical Scope: Engineers work across multiple domains including cloud platforms, AI applications, scalable backends, modern frontend frameworks, and infrastructure automation. Growth Opportunities: Fast-paced environment where proactive engineers can take ownership of projects, drive innovation, and deliver measurable business impact. The AI push in the company is going well.

Cons: Prioritization can be done better.
