Pros

Good, genuine people. A fantastic underlying product that has long term tailwinds (thanks, Internet!). Enough opportunities to pick and choose your own projects. Open mindedness. Encouraged to be candid.

Cons

An increased feeling of instability (perhaps temporary). Long-tenured leaders have left as entire refresh at senior level. new leadership has not demonstrated vision just yet or ability to focus and execute. Communication from top has deteriorated. Solid upper-middle managers in place as execs. Lots of opinions. Used to be filled with DIY'ers and solutions oriented people. Influx of 'idea people'.

Nice work and personal life balance. I love working here.

Very slow Immigration process, a green card processing take 2-3 years for an I-140 appproval, from start to end.

We are so sorry to hear about your frustrations with the immigration process. We changed law firms in order to better streamline our immigration processes, and appreciate your patience in this transition. Your feedback is appreciated as we are always trying to improve. It is so great to hear that you enjoy working at OpenTable!

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.
