Pros

Brand and integration with open table make it an unique company. Theres always changes on the site, a/b testings and teams working to make it better. Innovation can be constant

Cons

So many things can be very wrong, old school culture, square, no coaching or guiding. But the worst part, be prepared for constant talks with layers and compliance. Internal investigations about management miss behavior became ordinary and it’s not pleasant to stop the day and have to be interrogated

Pros

Great benefits: Healthcare had great coverage and affordable monthly payments. I also really appreciated the work-from-wherever policy as well as all the office snacks. Fantastic people: I genuinely loved the people I worked with—they made me feel like I belonged and was appreciated. My manager worked to build me up, something that can't be said for a lot of places. Travel perks: The ability to travel for work made this experience incredibly rewarding.

Cons

Slow mobility: Trying to get promoted felt like a moving goalpost—the expectations changed every six months and made it nearly impossible to get to the next step. Even then, the business was stingy about who gets promoted, which was incredibly discouraging after years of trying to prove myself.
