Pros

really nothing to share. just that oyo is a popular brand because of no immediate competition, so when you tell oyo , people wont ask you WHAT OYO? read the cons carefully to understand the pros which i have written doesnt matter at all.

Cons

hire and fire policy- appoints 80-90 sales people for one city because of which multiple people reach out to one single company and end up fighting among themselves; this method helps the company sign up many accounts in shorter span but effects the sales manager in pathetic way. Bad leadership- your boss is basically an IITan(with zero sales exp) who feels he really good with numbers/data analysis, hence he would not toil under sun, ready to face ground activities with you so he would rather has only gyan and no proper knowledge. salary disclosure- only company in the world which discloses salaries in public because thats how they have designed their targets. more the salary more your target. so every fortnight you will only hear " because your salary is X you target is Y but you achieved Z. having high targets is normal in any sales function but in oyo it has been designed in such a manner that it keep is increasing multi fold. Highest attrition- has 81 % attrition rate , this itself indicates the beautiful work culture they have. max tenure for an employee here is 6 months . I have made many mistakes in my life, but joining oyo tops the list. Their system is designed in such a way that if an employee leaves then the target of the manager reduces, so this way manager is always keen on removing people to reduce the target and once a new emplyee joins, the boss gets a breathing space for 3 month , and that emplyee quits or is fired after another 3 months(total 6) . so the cycle of hire fire continues. people are being hired at top level with indusrty best salaries and the burn is felt in the sales dept cuz you are the ones who need to generate revenue without having any support. if you the quality of the hotel is bad then your client will never return to you and in oyo no one supports to bring back the same client.

Pros

Pay Mileage reimbursement Flexible day schedule can be home by 12-2:30 to interview for other jobs if you try or start later to have interviews in the morning.

Cons

I would only suggest excepting an offer from Oyo if your unemployment benefits are running out or you continue to aggressively interview for other better opportunities, as the base salary is higher than market average. Trainwreck is an understatement. Zero personal development opportunities other than learning how to talk around important details to get deals. Super aggressive prospecting tactics. Horrible reputation. Even when giving $700k+ to hotel owners to sign people won’t touch Oyo’s branding with a 10 foot pole. Was described as “lipstick on a pig” in training. Leads passed on to your bosses friends and not the proper territory manager. They have ZERO shame in pestering owners past the point of being kicked out of offices. They have been banned from hotel association organizations for aggressive soliciting. If you have morals you will have a hard time working here. Any company that is willing to change any contract term within 15-30 days notice at their discretion is not a reputable org. You’ll be expected to harass business owners 24/5 (weekends off) and mislead them about Oyo’s “wonderful industry leading technology” which is in reality subpar at best. They over hire, and mass fire if you don’t have the desired results in 60 days unless you have befriended your BDH. The CEO is a rich kid who is blindly out of touch with reality. They’ve thrown away hundreds of millions of dollars to attract hotels that are not profitable just for the sake of getting hotels and being the “fastest growing hotel brand”. They give business development managers a bad name. But 75K to pass out brochures and get told how terrible the company is by major and independent hotel owners 6-10x a day who have been in the business 20+ years is not bad at all for a short period of time. The only people who sign with oyo are desperate and on their last leg of operation. For it to be a Indian company, Indian natives want nothing to do with oyo which speaks volumes as this group of people usually stick together at all cost. The biggest lie told in recruitment is that this is a technology company. You might as well believe the earth is flat and time travel is real. This is a dirty motel level franchise with poor ethics on its best day. You’ll notice the momentum that oyo is pushing towards vacation rentals to go more up market, because they have beaten the 1-3 star hotel market to death and have built one of the least desirable brands in history and in the industry.
