OpenTable reviews about "pay"

Visibility of career growth and development should be more clear.

they treat employees terrible, pay them nothing, constantly changing policies and regularly firing their employees with zero reasoning

You have to love sales to keep up

I don't really have any cons other than not much focus on personal career development.

- Immature processes - Nothing else to note!

Because of the structure of the company it is all about who your manager is. Cultures can vary drastically from team to team so if your manager sucks, so will your experience at OpenTable. The communication and goals set forth by the c-suite is often out of touch with reality.

There are some middle managers who are extremely toxic and if you end up with one, beware. Micromanaging, lots of politics, and a lack of transparency. Lack of imagination and vision from leadership. Risk averse and slow to evolve. Upper management plays favorites. Some legitimately rude and even unkind people thrive in this tech org. Meeting-heavy culture.

While I truly appreciate and enjoy many aspects of working at OT, there are a couple of areas I believe could be improved. One area is the pay structure and bonus system for management positions. I feel that the compensation could be more competitive given the level of responsibility in these roles. Additionally, the lack of flexibility when it comes to negotiating salary or bonus adjustments can be a challenge for those looking for more tailored growth opportunities. Another aspect I’ve noticed is that political topics, have come up during some all-hands meetings, which can create an uncomfortable or awkward atmosphere. While I understand that everyone is entitled to their views, there seems to be an assumption that everyone shares the same San Francisco-liberal values, which doesn’t always align with the broader diversity of perspectives within the company or presently the country at large. It can be difficult to navigate, especially in a space where differing/conservative opinions may not always be fully acknowledged. Overall, while these are areas for potential improvement, I still believe OT offers a lot of great benefits and a supportive team culture, which I value deeply. These thoughts are just intended to spark conversation for further growth and inclusivity at the company.

Big company with people all over the world - learning the ropes is a long process but expected for size of company. A good challenge!
