Pros: We built OpenTable into what it became. We, being a team of Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Sales, Support Staff, Office Staff, and others. We loved the company and did our best to make it successful. That was an incredible team that succeeded in a major way. We were so proud when the company went public and watched the stock soar. It was sweet.

Cons: Something happened a couple years ago where the old guard was summarily dismissed, or encouraged to move on by treating good people badly. Stress, bickering, and managers yelling at employees in public increased, and people fled. The new engineering regime brought over their dozen or so cronies and even set them up with their own office in Southern California, away from the mother ship in San Francisco. Rather than learn about the existing culture at OpenTable, they imposed their own set of rules, values, and skewed militaristic sense of what makes a good team. The engineering team was constantly reminded that the company was moving fast, and to keep up or get left behind. Older workers were jettisoned for younger workers, a clear sign of ageism.

Pros: Good work life balance overall

Cons: The upper management can be a misaligned.

Pros: Great culture (that used to be); and a good physical location.

Cons: OpenTable's values have diminished a lot recently. New leadership has no clue on what they are doing, how to improve business value and return on investment. They were building the apps and services with no proper outlook. No new project is attractive. They won't bother to keep the great talent, and employees lost credibility in the management. Benefits were getting worse year by year. Compensation structure and plans were not attractive or competitive anymore.
