I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at OpenTable (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
The interview was over hangouts and fairly straight forward. About 10 minutes was spent on CSS, 10 min on HTML and 20 on JavaScript. There was some live coding involved, which was unnerving, plus general JS/HTML/CSS questions. Matt spent about 10 min on a general introduction in the beginning, and set time aside at the end for my questions. He was absolutely supportive and professional throughout the interview, even as I floundered through some parts. Live coding is rather stressful, but Matt did his best to reduce the stress and help, which made the process easier. My only complaint was that it took a while for HR to get back to me - but as soon as I emailed Matt with a followup, he wrote right back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is "this" and how is it used? What is scope? How do you deal with callback hell?
The product seems interesting, but the HR person complained about their work and didn't know how to answer basic questions about the team during the interview. I got a generic rejection a few weeks later.

I applied online. I interviewed at OpenTable (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2025
Interview
It was smooth however they failed to inform what was the nature of the interview. I assumed it to be a screening /behavioral interview but it turned out to be a technical coding interview
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OpenTable (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
The interview began with a phone call with hiring manager where my interest to apply and past experiences were gauged . Followed by a take home coding test . After the coding test was submitted , I had three to four rounds of interview speaking to future team mates and one pair programming session related to the coding task , then a chat with the PM , hiring manager and another manager . Although the interview took long it was great experience meeting really great people. The whole process was great and didn't feel like I was being tested but the interview was conducted with an approach of getting to know the candidate
