Prós
The people here rock! Very intelligent people here who are always willing to share what they know with you. Some managers make an effort to and take pride in developing their direct reports. You get lots of opportunities to learn about and engage with different teams across the company (e.g., engineering, finance, marketing) and see how all these teams combined make OpenTable function. Great company culture - people are easy to get along with, which helps to forge great relationships.
Contras
Outdated & Old Systems: The company has grown rapidly over the past couple years. Management has prioritized growth on the front end, but has provided very little support to back end employees, who are critical to OpenTable's day to day function. The inefficiencies that old systems present make it hard for back end employees to do their jobs. Management does not seem to be sensitive of their needs. Compensation / Benefits / Perks: No cool perks compared to other tech companies. Compensation and benefits are not competitive to market or other tech companies, even though the company advertises itself as such. Bonuses are only given to certain teams when other teams equally deserve them. Only senior managers and executive staff members seem to get promotions. This makes a lot of hard working employees with great talent feel unappreciated.
