Pros: Great team. Great benefits. Cares about work-life balance. Get to work on features used by millions, in a product people love and have heard of. Priorities from the C-suite on down are genuinely aligned with the best interests of both sides of the platform (almost unheard of in an increasingly ens***ified tech ecosystem). Clear path to growth. Great mix of autonomy and support. Great exec team. Makes me overuse the word great, without being prompted.

Cons: It is a mature company with a mature product. The cake is, in many ways, baked. A lot of time is spent trying to figure out how to shoehorn features in without breaking things, as opposed to building truly new things.

Pros: I worked with the OpenTable Mumbai operations team. The Mumbai team is energetic and hardworking. But most projects and high-level work were handled from the SF office. The people in the local team made up for all the negatives and helped me survive here. There is freedom to work on different tools and technologies, but one should be a self-starter to learn. Leaders were focused on maintaining existing legacy systems. I worked on many good tech and legacy products and tried improving the tech stack.

Cons: The hard work done here is not appreciated nor recognized. The management takes the team here for granted. I was stressed with work at odd hours and support calls. The management took my late hours work for granted. Market corrections never happened although role and work kept changing. New hires were provided higher pay and better stocks for the same role. I left the org as I was not managed well, and not paid well. Many other team members in the Mumbai office have the same complaint, that we get no appreciation, are taken for granted, and the compensation is not worth our efforts. Many senior members and managers are with the company for 10+ years, hence they are little old school, enjoy legacy (read they have pile of stocks and nothing to do), and they do not take polished decisions which is hurting the company (infra and tech stack is old and people under are not happy).

Pros: - Brand recognition (while it lasts)

Cons: - Debby Soo - Sagar Mehta - Caste System that is active in a way that has a negative impact on the culture and business results - Being treated less than human
