Groupon Work Experiences
- 2.0It was good while it lastedSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeChicago, Illinois, United StatesFebruary 10, 2023Pros: My team was amazing. WLB was respected.Cons: The company never bounced back after COVID, and as a result, the company has gone through several mass layoffs in the past year (and hired contractors overseas). The manner in which positions were cut makes very little sense to me. The manner in which employees were laid off in January 2023 was not compassionate in the slightest, including terminating all health insurance policies within one week of termination and offering a very lacking severance package. Recent hires have never been spared from layoffs. New upper management would routinely disrupt the established engineering workflow with last-minute and urgent asks. This quickly became the norm.
