Pros

Great products - both for restaurants and diners Good work/life balance

Cons

Lack of clear leadership and direction after Kayak takeover. Morale is extremely low after many beloved OpenTable CxO departures. Alcohol is a key part of the company culture. Drinking should be your thing if you want to be part of the in crowd Middle management is very mediocre. People are promoted primarily based on their relationship with senior management, and not based on their ability to do things. Do not work here if you need any sort of immigration support. They clearly slow down the immigration process to prevent employees on work visas from leaving. Take care to retain employees that actually get stuff done
