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? :)

Pros

Come join our team! I've been an employee for over 10+ years now, and I've yet to have a dull moment at work. Even as a remote employee the communication level has been on par as to if I was work in corporate. We have a great culture, with a team dedicated from top-down in leading with innovation in internal and external products, employee development, and ideas sharing. Every year we have many social events that bring employees together from around the world were we learn, share, suggest on new ways to advance our organization into the future. Oh and we have lots of fun while doing so. On a daily basis I get to meet new restaurant people, and I think they are the glue to our economy and are probably the hardest working people in any industry. Come and be a part in a company that has great technology, great people and great food for an ultimate well rounded employee experience.

Cons

Career advancement for a remote employee could be quicker
