Positive Reviews From OpenTable Employees
- What do you like best about the leadership team?They are all computers so no contact
- What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?I don't feel the culture or environment are good. It's toxic in my opinion and very forced. Forced relationships and friendships. Forced socialization, often leading to toxic relationships forming.
- What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?Fail-friendly culture enables to experiment a lot and gives freedom and inspiration. A lot of tools to play with. Tech stack is huge and it's easy to grow and get hands on experience
Constructive Feedback From OpenTable Employees
- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?Better management, better one on ones, a better culture.
- What would you improve about your company's interview process?Be upfront about what to expect.
- What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?Co-workers themselves need to grow up. This isn't a high school it's a place of work. It's a very immature environment.
