Pros

The biggest thing for me is that OpenTable is a company I can stand behind. I love the culture, the values and the fact that we do business with integrity. This company is really fun, it is definitely work hard play hard. There is a lot of opportunity in various departments for advancement and there are definitely perks to working at OpenTable like getting to rub elbows with amazing Chefs and Restaurateurs and incentive trips for high performers. Personal fan of the PTO schedule and the benefits plan.

Cons

The biggest con I can point out is that salary increases are few and far between. Great company but it is really difficult to work so hard and not feel like you are being paid what you are worth. I think if that issue was solved, there would be no reason to ever look outside for opportunities.

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.
