Pros

Early management was excellent. When we just started the morale was high, work was interesting, the team was inspiring, we had a solid value proposition

Cons

OYO realised that the original promise they wanted to deliver to hoteliers was too pricey and completely changed its value proposition at some point- not in a good direction. Fired more than half of the team. Brought management from India who don’t understand the UK market very well. They couldn’t motivate the rest of us who were left in the company. Everything was about taking shortcuts, minimising costs, no standardisation, horrible systems. We were constantly fixing things instead of building a better product. It was a mess.

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.
