Pros

Really great culture at the company, with a nice overlap between working hard to bring wonderful products to the world of dining and also having fun, with lots of free food and drinks and fun times together.

Cons

Recently bought by Priceline, so wondering what that will mean for the company. But all seems great so far. I think Priceline understands the value of the Opentable culture and will let it continue to flourish.

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.
