Groupon, 91草莓视频 Winter Externship, Max Joslyn

Max Joslyn, junior linguistics major, participated in a 91草莓视频 winter externship with Groupon, an online commerce marketplace operator.

I spent five days externing at Groupon. My daily routine looked like this:

Groupon, 91草莓视频 Winter Externship, Richard Adcock

Through 91草莓视频’s winter externship program, Richard Adcock, junior linguistics major, worked with Groupon, an online commerce marketplace. This post highlights a few of his impressions:

The conference rooms in the Groupon office are called things like "Touch me, I'm sick" and "Hold all my calls." The open floor plan houses more than one standing desk, and there are more Seahawks jerseys than button-ups. Employees in all departments bounce from teleconference to meeting to teleconference, this being the marketing hub for a rapidly growing, multinational corporation.

A given call might be to go over the week's numbers and prep for an internal meeting, but even this level of bureaucracy and internal review is dispatched in minutes, and employees are back to their own projects. This is a common thread I came to appreciate in my short time at Groupon--analytics are collaborative, ongoing, and maximally quick and responsive.
