I recently interviewed with Groupon just a few weeks ago. The people I met were all pretty laid back. It looks like the developers are treated nicely. Most of the people I talked to seem with the current state of things. Most of the site with the exception of some backend stuff is handled by rails, so you can imagine how much of a mess it must be to have 200+ developers writing feature after feature all on the same rails application (yes, I realize I am exaggerating a bit). I did get some impressive numbers on the number of deals that they have and some of the growth that they are experiencing, so that aspect was a bit impressive. I just wonder how many people are going to try to escape post-IPO.
