OpenTable reviews

Almost no recognition at all; senior management never visits the regular folks (not once in 3 years); people who do badly get to stay; people who are gifted and do well are held back; raises are anemic; efforts to bring in leaders from other companies to talk about technology are actively blocked; using advanced technology is only recently allowed after a near mutiny; bizarre priorities and guidance out of step with business needs

Very unhealthy corporate culture. Senior management recently awarded themselves a second round of stock options equivalent to five times (500%) the industry standard for executive stock option compensation for 2010. They then used those same 'industry standards' to cap all employee salary increases to 3% or less for the year. They then cashed out nearly all of those options they had just awarded themselves. They are almost all completely divested of the company at this point. One wonders if this is simply a strategy to get yet another options award to keep management incentivised. There is little to no formal recognition of engineers who create the products that are making these managers into multi-millionaires. There is an immense amount of anger in Engineering towards management, which may explain why we haven't seen the VP of Engineering in nearly six months.
