Groupon has two IT hubs in Europe.
One is in Berlin and the other is in Dublin. Currently, I am working in the Dublin city center in a backend Java environment.
I have been working at Groupon for only a few months, but I love it due to the scope of projects that I can work on. Groupon is much more than just a daily deal website. There are 12,000 people working at Groupon worldwide, and this is phenomenal for a company that is only 6 years old.
I work with top engineers who came from larger tech companies, as Groupon offers more freedom to be creative and to sculpt a career. Groupon is still in startup mode, but the company is stable and cash-rich.
The salaries are very strong, along with the benefits: Health, sick pension, etc.
The weather in Dublin is not great, but I am looking forward to the summer.
