Pros

Culture is great, especially with regard to support from managers and collaboration. People are there to help each other. No workplace is perfect, but it is overall a healthy culture with a lot of value placed in work-life balance. There are a lot of big challenges, both technical and otherwise, and some big impacts to be made. Even relatively junior contributors can make a significant difference to the product if they seek the opportunities. Both consumer and enterprise products offer a lot of different challenges to work on.

Cons

Big organizations can move slowly sometimes, and OpenTable is no exception (although this has been getting better with fluid teams). Better coordination between product, design, and engineering is needed in some areas.

Pros

- the work/life balance here has been fantastic - generous with enrichment opportunities - genuinely concerned/active in regards to diversity

Cons

- sometimes scattered technical goals - should spend more time addressing technical debt (though really most tech companies needs to do this)

Thank you for your candor. Through our new performance management tool, all employees now have insight into executive goals across the company. I also hope our recent re-org of our product and engineering teams will help streamline technical priorities. If you have questions about how your own workload fits into larger company goals, please raise this with your manager or your HRBP.

Pros

Very open to adopting new tech. No issues with politics. Not clique-ish. Smart engineers everywhere. Well paying for Los Angeles . Great office.

Cons

A lot of legacy tech still exists which needs to be maintained. Management doesn't look to internal talent for offering career advancement and promoting people to management they look for outside hires.
