High dynamic, with room to grow and give life to your ideas
It feels like Groupon is still repatching itself from the rounds of layoffs in the not too distant past, and this left a lot of room for rethinking technologies and strategies, which for me was a big plus. People are willing to listen to your ideas and are eager to try and optimize the older setups and procedures this company used to have.
There are a lot of workstreams being tested in parallel, and it might feel overwhelming at some point. But if you stay focused and positive, and echo this on your 1:1s, you'll be able to use this as an advantage to push your own ideas. Also, remember to stay focused and positive.
Strive for stability and commit to it more than anything moving forward. Having a lot of innovation pushed alongside stability and cost-saving measures can feel like none of the initiatives are actually progressing.
