Pros

There are a lot of fun people at OpenTable, with a shared passion for food and dining.

Cons

OpenTable is really good an presenting an image and tooting its own horn as a great place to work, but it's all flash and very little substance. Employees are not recognized for their accomplishments and people get thrown under the bus so their managers can save face. KPIs are mostly vanity metrics. The people who yell the loudest about how great they are get the most attention. It's hard to advance at all, and harder still if you're female (though perhaps the new female CEO will do something about that). It's a very cliquey environment that can often feel like a frat house.
