Pros

- Interesting vertical (who doesn't want to work with restaurants) - Fun work that can be rewarding - No real competitive threats - Good trifecta of CEO - CFO - CTO - Location of HQ is great - Lots of Priceline cash means projects get funded - Lots of cool people

Cons

- Weak senior management under the CXO position - CEO is solid, but has surrounded herself with yes men and women - Sales runs the show = not a ton of vision more than a quarter out - Not a lot of appetite for risk - Internal politics can be crazy - Internal talent development is nearly non-existent

Pros

- WLB - Plenty of holidays - tech stack

Cons

Since Debby joined in 2020, she has ruined the engineering culture. It used to be a great place to work. There has been - constant exec requests that have revolving requirements. - policies advertise to make it the "best place to work", but Debby tells us she has the right to change her mind - cringe worthy speeches from execs

Pros

Great culture(used to be), good physical location.

Cons

Opentable's values diminishing a lot recently. New leadership have no clue on what they are doing, how to improve business value and return of investment. They were building the apps/services with no proper outlook. No new project is attractive. Won't bother to keep the great talent, employees lost credibility of the management. Benefits were getting worse year by year. Comp structure/plans were not attractive/competitive any more.
