Work your way at OpenTable

At OpenTable, we understand that work-life balance isn’t solved with catered lunches and generous paid time off (though, we have that too). We enable our team to do work they’re proud of, in places they want to see, live, and experience, while showing up for the people and things in their lives that matter most to them. That’s balance.

Work From (Almost) Anywhere

Our flexible work policy centers on Work From (Almost) Anywhere. This policy lets you work from any corner of the globe where we can legally hire you. Design the work life you want so you can be present in your life.

“As a working mom, juggling my family commitments and work alongside a 45-minute commute each way was challenging. I now have those hours back in my work week and my paid time off is reserved for things I want to do WITH my family.”

– Danielle DeAngelis, Senior Learning and Development Specialist, Michigan (remote), OpenTable

Our policy was built by our team

Pandemic life showed us collaboration can happen even when we’re apart. It also showed us that being able to change scenery or spend time with family before 5 pm can spark creativity and new solutions. So we listened when our team asked for more flexibility in when and where they work.

Remote-first AND cool office spaces

In-person collaboration matters. Our team is filled with awesome, talented humans with big ideas, so we’ll make sure there’s space for spending time together. If you want a desk in an office, we’ll have one for you in amazing cities around the world.

Experience the world while you work

Your office can — and should — be anywhere. Work from home, work from an office, work in an office across the country or on the other side of the globe, or work from wherever you’re spending time.

“I just came back from a month-long trip to Italy, which is where I’m from, and it was the first time that my daughter was able to meet her grandad. I wouldn’t have been able to go there for as long as I did had I not been able to work from Italy. So I am truly, deeply appreciative of the policy, and I encourage everybody on my team to take advantage of it.”

– Julia Borghini, Senior Director of Brand Studio, San Francisco, OpenTable
