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

* 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.
