Pros
If you are not a technology worker, Groupon maybe a great place to work. With failings of the daily deal business model, which still gets much attention, they are trying many new business ideas to see if any stick. There are a number of places for a person's skill set to fit. The building environments in both Palo Alto and Chicago are quite nice.
Cons
Groupon tries to present itself as a technology company, which is most defintely not. With it's current turn around plan to become more than just a daily deals site, they are going up against large and established competitors like Amazon or newer more agile tech companies like Square. The biggest con I see is that there may not be a real future of success.
