Pros

This is, hands down, the best job I have ever had in my life. I hope to make this a permanent, lifelong career. - Fun, friendly, supportive company culture - Excellent pay and benefits - Lots of autonomy - Perfect work/life balance - Hard work pays off well with bonuses and promotions - Opportunity for travel - Work with some of the best Chefs/restaurateurs in the world

Cons

The only down side to working for OpenTable is that it would be impossible to find another job as good in the future if I ever had to.

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.
