About Groupon

Groupon is a global leader in local commerce, offering consumers incredible deals on the best stuff to
eat, see, do, and buy in over 47 countries. Naturally, when it came to India a country on the constant
lookout for paisa vasool bargains - Groupon was an unmitigated success (and there goes modesty,
straight out of the window).
Groupon India is now 3 years old and like any 3-year-old, were full of energy and easily excited. Which
means working at Groupon is like a rollercoaster ride its fast-paced, fun and sometimes makes you feel
wobbly in the stomach.
Fun @ Groupon
Think casual Fridays are fun? Bahahaha, you deprived soul you.
At Groupon, fun takes all kinds of bizarre turns. Whether its odd events (read Twin Day, Halloween
Parties, Fashion Disaster, Retro Day), unexpected cake, random photo shoots (if you own a DSLR, you
are our new best friend), stand-up comedy one-offs, well, you get the gist. Oh, and we take a very outof-the-box approach to work. In this case, the box being the officeBecause we have tons of team
outings, get-togethers and trips. And this is not including the annual offsite where employees from all
over the country come together for a weekend of activities, talent shows, dancing, awards, discussions
and much more.
Still think wearing a T-shirt to work on one day of the week is fun?
Culture @ Groupon
Imagine being surrounded all day by street-smart, confident and quirky people. Even if youre not
standing on the sets of How I Met Your Mother. Thats the Groupon office in a nutshell. Its a place
where formality dies a slow death, much like Amrita Raos career. (Seriously, the last time a Groupon

employee called someone Sir, s/he was probably standing in front of a professor explaining the doodle on
the note they were passing in class.)
Its also a place where people like to build new stuff (not necessarily out of Lego) and believe in odd
things like theres something new to be learned every day and that ideas can come from anywhere.
Honestly, we love exchanging ideas and everyone has an open-door policy, whether its your reporting
manager or the friendly CEO next door.
Actually, that was a lie we dont have an open-door policy. We dont even have doors. Were cool like
that.

Tips from a Groupon Veteran:

Everyone needs a friend to stay by their side through late nights. Make coffee yours.
That report you stayed up all night preparing? Theres a good chance its going to be scrapped
we love reinventing and soon you will too (insert evil laugh here).
We believe in casual dressing. But just to be clear, casual doesn't include boxers, feathers, oh
