Pros

The people here rock! Very intelligent people here who are always willing to share what they know with you. Some managers make an effort to and take pride in developing their direct reports. You get lots of opportunities to learn about and engage with different teams across the company (e.g., engineering, finance, marketing) and see how all these teams combined make OpenTable function. Great company culture - people are easy to get along with, which helps to forge great relationships.

Cons

Outdated & Old Systems: The company has grown rapidly over the past couple years. Management has prioritized growth on the front end, but has provided very little support to back end employees, who are critical to OpenTable's day to day function. The inefficiencies that old systems present make it hard for back end employees to do their jobs. Management does not seem to be sensitive of their needs. Compensation / Benefits / Perks: No cool perks compared to other tech companies. Compensation and benefits are not competitive to market or other tech companies, even though the company advertises itself as such. Bonuses are only given to certain teams when other teams equally deserve them. Only senior managers and executive staff members seem to get promotions. This makes a lot of hard working employees with great talent feel unappreciated.

Pros

Good perks, not micro managed. Hit your numbers and they leave you alone.

Cons

Not a lot of opportunities for growth. Management is clicky

Pros

In my view the best kind of people to work with are big brain, small ego people who like to get stuff done and have fun doing it. This is definitely the OpenTable culture. People are nice but like to go after opportunities and results. Work hard/play hard culture. Solid compensation and benefits. Meritocracy environment where ideas that get resourced and launched are based on data and testing versus hierarchical decisions. Awesome office space, location and parties.

Cons

Too many goals at times. Sometimes it is better to pick one high level goal for the year and nail it. Loose performance management is quickly being replaced by a much more well organized approach. Limited training and development.
