Pros

Young and enthusiastic people but that's about it

Cons

Superficial culture that revolves around drinking alcohol. Inner circles that are hard to get into. USA making decisions for everyone. No opportunities and generally feel like the company is going downhill. 2015 Opentable was fun, 2018 is complete opposite.

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.
