Recently, the media exposure Groupon in China office of photograph, saying, landgent center is located in Beijing Groupon China was already overcrowded, some departments have moved to the located sanyuanqiao new location.
According to an exposure of about Groupon recruitment mail shows, Groupon fitting in 3 months will China's total number to 3,000 people, and declared "may this year to become the first in China jan.7".
