Pros

The culture at OpenTable is one that other companies often try to imitate but fail to do so, OpenTable has an organic culture where employees are absolutely engaged, work hard are committed yet are rewarded and looked after extremely well. There really is a work hard, play hard ethic. Senior management share their vision with staff and engage them in the same philosophy - this transparent culture gets all staff motivated and hungry to contribute and succeed. Despite being part of the larger Priceline group and being 17 years old, OpenTable still maintains that hungry, .com start-up feel to it. It's exciting, fast paced and everybody feels they are part of something big.

Cons

Honestly? I can't think of any!

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.
