Pros

none. Not even the high base salary and some what decent benefits could make up for how awful working for this company was.....

Cons

I do not think I even have enough room to share everything horrible about OYO.... Management was a complete joke, mine having just as much experience as me in the industry and this job being their first ever management position. It definitely showed with the complete lack of knowledge and ability to actually MANAGE. Too many BDMs for one person (26 to 1) and clearly chose not to even try and invest time into all of us. Only reached out twice whole time to check in the whole time I was there, one of those times being to lay me off, and offered ZERO assistance on anything nor did they even have the experience to help if they wanted to. I had even reached out multiple times on multiple occasions across multiple platforms, yet NEVER received a response from my manager. Not to say they would get back to me or anything, even though I was able to see every message had been read. You went in thinking you would have a protected territory. Not the case, plus every area had already been picked over multiple times by multiple people before. Territories would change without notice or just cause, and no one could give you a direct answer as to what was true and what was not. Complete disaster and unorganized. OYOs reputation was so bad, you were lucky if you could even get in the door at most hotels. Two of my areas already had OYOs prior to me joining, and the owners at them had such negative experiences I was advised to stay completely away from them and to not ever go in and introduce myself. Yet, even still, they thought/expected me to get another owner at a different hotel in those same areas to sign up with OYO. It was an absolute joke and nightmare all in one. I could keep going on, and fill up a book probably of all the horrible, unprofessional, down right disrespectful things that I experienced/saw during my time as a BDM here. It was the first time I had seen a company do such shady things, knowing they were doing them, yet continued on anyway. It is truly the worst professional experience I have ever had, worst I have ever been treated as an employee at a company, and simply the worst company I have ever been associated with in general.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities to work on real-world machine learning problems, exposure to large-scale data, supportive colleagues, fast-paced culture that encourages growth and continuous learning.

Cons

Work-life balance can be challenging at times due to tight deadlines, rapid changes in priorities, and the need to adapt quickly in a high-pressure startup-like environment.
