Pros

I had an incredible experience at OpenTable! I had a lot of opportunities to choose +/ work on exciting individual projects that led me to believe that I was making an actual impact - meanwhile I also had a lot of help from fellow engineers + my manager whenever I needed it. At no point did I feel like I was doing pointless work. Lots of lovely, clever people. Great work life balance i.e don't expect to work for more than 8-9 hours. Location is perfect if you love the city. Also - as it shouldn't surprise you, people here are foodies! They love to wine and dine at good places. It's also an exciting time to be at OpenTable because it's growing a lot.

Cons

Not the most hip tech company - overall employees are a little older than expected. (although I believe they are working on hiring more new grads + the HR team is working hard on bringing in that hip vibe).

Pros

Lots of smart people working on some pretty cool projects. Move towards SOA definitely opened up a lot of opportunities for learning within engineering. Pretty open collaboration with minimal stonewalling between teams. Most people are passionate and energized by the product roadmap.

Cons

Not many advancement opportunities for individual contributors. Over time, as team leads grew into Directors, members of technical staff only got to senior level, and senior got to principal. Relatively flat reporting structure worked great up to a certain size, but at some point the company outgrew it. Until recently, comps were not keeping up with the market, and new-hires (some through acquisitions) were coming in with inflated titles and packages. This also significantly diluted the culture.

Small team, smart people, interesting work

Cons

The higher management is not very clear since priceline has taken over. Many things are rapidly changing inside of the company.
