Pros

Base salary is ok. Nothing else.

Cons

Where do I begin..? I would give zero stars if I was able to. You will expected to book meetings on your first day. Treated like children having to report how many calls you’ve made and how many emails you’ve sent. Expected to be on call until late at night. Expected to attend pointless calls / meetings after hours. Constant micromanagement from people with no managerial skills. Training is pointless and unorganised. No support after your 4 days of training. Management will ignore questions as they don’t know the answers. Terrible offering to property owners. Service and product does not fit the UK market. Software that doesn’t work. Leads that are unqualified (spoke to several children). “Hot leads” that have no idea who you are. High pressure sales tactics. No structure to the business. No marketing budget as first advised. Constantly changing strategy & focus. Constantly changing targets. No support from management. Salary paid late. Expenses paid late. Senior management have no experience in UK market. Leads are duplicated daily. Contract is with agency so no rights with OYO. Several new starters let go after one month. More new starters let go after signing properties within two months. Terrible reputation within the industry. I could go on and on but please take one thing away from this. Do not apply for this job.

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.
