Pros

The company culture at OpenTable is nothing short of amazing. Having worked for well know and prestigious companies in the hospitality industry in the past, I would say that the quality of life at OpenTable out shines all other companies. It's most certainly a "work hard, play hard" culture. Good humor is appreciated, and all employees are supportive and encouraging of their peers to succeed. It really is quite amazing. Plus the pay is pretty good and expectations/goals are realistic.

Cons

Working remotely can sometime be a little lonely, but I knew that when I took the job. The online interaction between peers does compensate a bit for the lack of in-person engagement. Overall, the "cons" are negligible in comparison to the "pros".

Pros

* It's a great brand * Great partners * Decent product with strong distribution

Cons

* Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders. * This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group * I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation. * The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively. * Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
