Pros

Playful environment, good people, a true sense of comradery, attractive and modern office space, nice kitchen and lounge area. Good benefits and PTO program. I feel more valued here than I have at any other call center I've worked at and certainly more at my last job. There is minimal push to hit prefixed stats, so it's quality before quantity, which is refreshing.

Cons

Grossly underpaid for the level of technical expertise and vast and varied system knowledge required. The "top down" management style creates more problems than it can solve. Departments do not seem to be educated on what the others departments do. Some departments have no appreciation for the people (ie, look down upon) on the front line at the call center. Certain programs are just broken and need a make over. Only a couple of supervisors have experience with OpenTable, thus leaving the rest unable to support and up-train their team adequately. Likewise, training is provided by a good guy, but who has minimal exposure and experience with the products. The opportunities to excel in new endeavors or roles seem shrouded at best.

Pros

The People - An intelligent and collaborative workforce that makes it enjoyable to come into work every day. Everyone does seem to respect one another professionally as well as personally; the people are genuinely nice. People also ask the right questions, and move forward on ideas accordingly (Decisions are thoughtout and most of the time are backed with data). The Location - Downtown San Francisco. Can't really beat where the HQ is, and the office space is welcoming. The Happy Hours - Creatively themed and a lot of fun. Not overproduced (nor a waste of dollars) these events typically are centered around the employees. Most notable have been Halloween, Kentucky Derby with employees riding large toy horses around the office, St. Patricks Day and then the impromptu happy hours that happen out of thin air and typically include people from various departments. Base salary is competitive and the RSUs add a nice touch. Happy with the benefits too. Seems to be a time for opportunity and growth for the business and me as an employee. I'm excited for the growth of the product.

Cons

At times I feel like the work hours can be a little long in comparison to my friends that work at other companies in the Bay Area but in all honesty I think this could also be a result of me not feeling the need to rush out of the office right at 5pm. (The hours are better than east coast NYC hours) 401K match seems slightly low but the RSUs make up for it.
