Pros

There are a lot of fun people at OpenTable, with a shared passion for food and dining.

Cons

OpenTable is really good an presenting an image and tooting its own horn as a great place to work, but it's all flash and very little substance. Employees are not recognized for their accomplishments and people get thrown under the bus so their managers can save face. KPIs are mostly vanity metrics. The people who yell the loudest about how great they are get the most attention. It's hard to advance at all, and harder still if you're female (though perhaps the new female CEO will do something about that). It's a very cliquey environment that can often feel like a frat house.

Pros

None - unless you count backstabbing as a pro

Cons

Senior leadership has no idea what they are doing - not open to any ideas Restaurants hate OpenTable - the service was good at one point in the distant past, but others have moved into the space and OpenTable has no chance to catch up Old technology + Bad Leaders = BuhBye OpenTable - good riddance
