Pros

- Very bright and competent people - Competitive benefits package - High degree of professionalism - Open communication from management

Cons

Company culture is a bit stiff. OpenTable is trying to be a fun Silicon Valley company, but this isn't felt across all departments and at times feels like it's forced.

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.
