Pros

The diversity amongst the client base absolutely fascinating and an incredible joy to work with.

Cons

The ideology of OpenTable’s in house culture is truly ideal yet the true benefactors of that curtesy can be often extended to only a select group of individuals. Many of the empty’s things are considered top tier happen to be sub level at best.

Pros

Most of the engineers are quite enjoyable to work with. All talented and helpful. I am still friends with many of the people I worked with while there. OT was also great for continual learning. Supporting the team with books and conferences.

Cons

The business structure and hierarchy is larger than needed and rarely hears things from the bottom. OT also chose to close a branch office (the one I worked at) with no real investigation into the work that we did. Then proceeded to wait until the last week of our employment to actually care about transition. (At which point they panicked) The conglomerate (Priceline Group owns OpenTable, each with their own CEOs), didn't work. It might be a failure to communicate, but having two CEOs on top of a board and shareholders felt like it stifled innovation, but having too many layers of approval and blame caused nothing to happen.

Pros

None. Prior to Debby, OpenTable was a fantastic company to work for

Cons

Debby and Sagar have ruined morale with their leadership. They love creating a false sense of urgency and a blame culture. Don’t believe all these fake reviews that praise the company
