Pros
Some of the other Business Development Managers are actually solid salespeople
Cons
Everything. The company's bad reputation will be the concern with basically every hotel owner or GM that you speak with. Whether it's OYO holding owner's revenue and not paying in a correct or timely manner, whether it's OYO changing the terms of the contract, whether it's OYO lowering room prices to $25 a night (which encourages all of the undesirables to come to the hotel), you name it, OYO has a way to think of it and mess up an owner's hotel. No technology (they lie that they have technology), no strategy, no value-add. They take over and destroy the hard work that owners spent decades, even generations to build up, in a matter of weeks. Management is crazy nepotistic. John hired Ruth. Prateek hired JP. Nobody knows what they're doing and hides until a BDM has a deal to sign and comes out of the woodworks. Don't expect to quit a job and get any security here either. You'll be let go within 100 days even though he average sales cycle is around 12 weeks. They'll tell you it should be a few days. They even have what's called a "one call close". Never met another company as clueless as this one. Wait, Adam Neumann and WeWork comes close but this one takes the prize.
