OpenTable Employee Reviews about "great people"

Pros

*It’s a fun industry to learn and be a part of. *Free snacks and drinks. *Remote offices seem to be doing well. *There are some great people that still work at OpenTable.

Cons

Here’s the truth. OpenTable is a 20 y/o company with not much going on. Do your research, you’ll see most of the reviews say very similar things. *Departments don't work well together. While there are only a handful of company objectives, teams seems to still have their own agenda and are not aligned. *It gets boring and redundant. You’re given specific things to work on and that’s all you do. It’s not scrappy, things do not move quickly. *There used to be fun happy hours and company events. These no longer exist. *Really bad leadership. There is a lack of creativity, inspiration, and empathy from leaders. This could be because they are not getting clear direction themselves, but this is a problem. *Limited growth (unless you’re really good at playing the political game) and few opportunities to learn new skills. *It’s very political. Whatever Kayak wants, Kayak gets. The OpenTable leaders will bend over backwards to make sure it happens. *Lack of excitement. Ever since the Kayak integration, there has been a big drop in morale. It’s been almost a year now, and the morale is still very low. *There is no OpenTable CEO currently. There are two OpenTable leaders who both report into the Kayak CEO. This could explain why Kayak is so highly favored and why many employees at OpenTable are in the dark.

Pros

Great people Work life balance A lot of freedom to do interesting projects

Cons

No free lunch Sometimes not enough hands in the company

Pros

Great people, great culture and fun cross-functional team interactions and outings.

Cons

There's a bit of turnover, which could just be a given because of the hot SF job market.

Pros

Come join our team! I've been an employee for over 10+ years now, and I've yet to have a dull moment at work. Even as a remote employee the communication level has been on par as to if I was work in corporate. We have a great culture, with a team dedicated from top-down in leading with innovation in internal and external products, employee development, and ideas sharing. Every year we have many social events that bring employees together from around the world were we learn, share, suggest on new ways to advance our organization into the future. Oh and we have lots of fun while doing so. On a daily basis I get to meet new restaurant people, and I think they are the glue to our economy and are probably the hardest working people in any industry. Come and be a part in a company that has great technology, great people and great food for an ultimate well rounded employee experience.

Cons

Career advancement for a remote employee could be quicker
