Pros

Basic salary is good. But you can earn more in a steady company with a decent commission scheme. Some nice people in the team

Cons

completely unrealistic targets - no one is hitting them what does this tell you Rather than alter the target or look at the product, they will hire and fire and hope for the best by re allocating dead leads The pressure is completely unnecessary and no job security The probation period is 3 months even though the average sales cycle is around 12 weeks... if you get to this stage without a sale yet, regardless of whether you have a good pipeline expect to be fired or put in a performance plan Managers have a terrible approach, ‘aggressive is good and have no shame...’ understandably most hotel owners are put off by this before even sitting down to discuss what oyo can offer Pretty much blanked in the office by the ‘old timers’ (by that people that are there more than 6 months, and any senior members of staff you are irrelevant and just another new bdm because of the rate of hire and fire Mixed messages all the time. Don’t think anyone actually has a chance to strategise because it’s changed and then suddenly you have a free for all where anyone can approach any lead and next min it’s territory based again and repeat Very inexperienced managers Lack of commission opportunity due to unreasonable targets Terrible reputation among hotel owners Overall incredibly pushy company, pushy towards their staff, pushy towards their prospects and push hotel owners to close at an uncomfortable pace.

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.
