What is Groupon's office like?

Groupon is actively negotiating an IPO with the investment bank, and Groupon is worth $25 billion trillion, Bloomberg reported. Several of the founders held shares worth 1 billion. Eric Lefkofsky, the early investor, has just landed on the Forbes billionaire list, worth $1.6 billion.

BusinessInsider visited Groupon's headquarters last November, when it was just the news that Groupon would be bought by Google. What about the office environment that spawned these Internet upstarts? Let's take a look at it!

Groupon is headquartered on the six floors of Montgomery Ward building in Chicago District, Chicago Avenue (Chicago Ave).

Andrew Mason's report to the Forbes interview is in the middle of a history of the decline of COM companies. For example, my space, Netscape and AOL, to urge themselves not to relax.

The first station to visit was Michael's room. Michael is a man of God who lives here before Groupon moves into the office. When Groupon came here, he continued to live as if he had kept a strange room for an ideal hero.
