Pros

Great work environment, no micro managing, can self direct, flexible schedules, stocked kitchen, beer fridge, commission pay generally reflects your efforts, good benefits and FUN people. Our team generally enjoys being around each other and are friends in and out of the office. When you have fun at work, it shows in your work.

Cons

Base pay could be a little higher

Pros

Tons of hard interesting engineering problems here - they are working on Mesos infra (on AWS), Spark cluster. The web teams use node.js. Most of the backend stuff is in Java/Scala - play framework/node/Clojure. They have some legacy code in C# but they are moving away from it (no one is really "porting" the code), teams are building new products which is replacing old products over time.

Cons

None for now, enjoy working here. Scale is not as massive compared to other consumer web companies in social media or web in terms of user data or activity. But its still fun to work here.

Pros

I've never worked for a better company. The culture and people we work with, the industry we serve, and the constant forward motion makes OpenTable a special career opportunity. I believe I'm constantly growing and learning professionally, and the leadership, top down, is inspired and driven. The company has a strong ethos of doing what's right for employees, consumers, and our restaurant partners while making smart and focused business decisions. It's an amazing place to push your career. OpenTable is also a very fun place to work! Company parties, events, off-sites, competitions, and accolades keep us motivated and growing. Lastly, OpenTable is as interested in personal growth as my professional growth and respects the work-life balance which is important to me. I consider myself very fortunate to have landed at OpenTable!

Cons

Is a company that is too much fun a negative? :)
