Pros

OpenTable has an amazing company culture that I could not imagine matching at many other companies. Co-workers are incredibly close and friendly and the work environment is very relaxed. Coming to work is actually enjoyable, not to mention many, many happy hours!

Cons

There are limited benefits and perks for a SF tech company. Not too many options for health benefits and no extra "perks," like catered food, cafeteria, or gym.

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.
