Pros

I used to think I worked for one of the most supportive and innovative companies when it came to looking after their employees, thats until I joined Opentable. From the moment I joined my on-boarding and everything from contacts to equipment was arranged. I was even set up with a buddy to help if I got stuck. I was fully enabled from the moment I joined but then the highlight is, I was given space and time to settle in with time to learn systems etc before my workload became too busy. This breathing space was great. Instead of being thrown in the deep end which is all I have ever experienced when starting new roles. Finally everyone I have been in touch with from my colleagues, managers to stakeholders has been nothing but friendly and helpful.

Cons

Honestly. There are no cons to this job so far.

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.
