Pros

OpenTable is a GREAT place to work. The opportunities for employees are great, there is a lot of room to grow and potential to move up the ladder. Leadership listens to employee feedback and values it. There is a lot of new, exciting programs both in the business world and in terms of career growth. The people here are passionate, smart, and creative. It is cliche, but the truth is - we work hard and we play hard.

Cons

The company is going through some changes at the moment which means we are experiencing some growing pains.

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.
