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

I love telling people I work for OpenTable. Most people tell me they love OpenTable, and they use it all the time. I work with some extremely smart people who challenge me every day. There's plenty of opportunity for growth at this company, and even offer valuable tools to help guide you along your career path. I never feel left in the dark as communication and transparency at this company are highly valued. The people at this company are professional, easy-going, intelligent, innovative, and hilarious.

Cons

As far as I'm aware, our bonuses are in the form of RSU's. There are no extra bonuses on top of that. However, the RSU's are fair, in my opinion. In terms of salary, I can only speak to my own, but I believe for the amount of work I put in I should be compensated more than what I'm receiving as of now. This company pays based off of market salary (and they put in a whole lot of research in order to pay their employees fairly), but I believe going above and beyond and showing extreme dedication to your work should be honored.
