Pros

All that restaurant experience does not have to go to waste! I used to think after leaving restaurants for quality of life that my only options would be in wine/liquor sales, Adams Burch, etc. At OpenTable, that experience is a major plus! Additionally, you get much better quality of life with many positions working at least part time at home. The company is consistently looking to advance, expand & develop. With that comes a lot of opportunities. And you certainly won't be bored doing the same thing day in and day out- there are always new developments, products, and processes. It's nice to have a job that has just the right amount of challenges. The benefits and compensation and great. This is a company I see myself staying with for a very long time.

Cons

Because most employees outside of the home office in San Francisco are remote employees, those positions don't see their colleagues as often as you might see them in a traditional office job. This isn't necessarily a negative- it's more of a personal preference from person to person. You do need to have self motivation and self discipline to be successful in a remote position.

Pros

OpenTable's company culture is its biggest attribute. A lot of companies boast "great culture" but OpenTable really delivers. From offering amazing opportunities to connect with other employees and learn more about our industry (I've gotten to ride snow mobiles, attend VIP culinary events, and have enjoyed countless team dinners at top tier restaurants) to making sure great leadership is in place at every level, OpenTable really walks the walk as far as culture. I really believe that great culture and success at every level trickles down from the top and we have the greatest CEO and executive staff. I am a mid-level employee and I've gotten to meet and talk with all of the company leaders. How many people can say that? They are all down-to-earth and don't see themselves as "above" anyone. It's very much a "we're-all-in-this-together" mentality. People are rewarded on performance, sure, but also for providing solid customer service and coming together to make great changes.

Cons

I work in a smaller office and though we've grown a lot over the past few years, I wish it would speed up even more and there would be more opportunities for career growth without having to move to another city.
