Pros

Good Salary & Incentives You get authorities to fulfill your responsibilities. Work culture is open ,you can directly reach to upper management in case of work emergency.

Cons

No work life balance, u are supposed to work as and when its required,even on holidays. You can survive in the sytem,only if you can maintain good relation with your seniors and team. As politics move all around the system. No work ethics, business policies have no ground. Company's only motive is to scale up operations, even on the cost of quality. No job security, company fires as soon as it hires. Every 3 month, new people are hired,to fire the people who are not performing good. As company belives in new faces will get new business. HR policies are not good. Their is a lot of difference in Salary range at same profile.

Pros

-Good tech stack , you will get to work on almost every popular thing in the industry. -Nice culture/people to start with. This point will also feature in cons.More than 70% of the employees are new hires (Less than 6 months old as of September 2018). So no problem of fitting in. -Almost everyone follows a 'go get it done' funda here. You don't write mail to people for dependencies. Whole tech team sits between 2 floors (till some time back, we were less in number so we just occupied 1 floor ). So talk to people on face and get the task done. -Fast paced environment. Almost all teams breaking the current code(Ruby on Rails) into new Micro-services (Java) . So you have to work simultaneously on both Ruby and Java. This is pretty much what I like about here.

Cons

Going to be a long list. - Politics , politics everywhere. - Large salary disparity. You'll join only to know there are ppl in your team getting much higher than you get and than they deserve. CTO has a fetish for hiring people from Hike and Amazon. He has worked at both places earlier. So he's pretty much bringing in everyone he knows from these places (I am not saying they are not good), but they will be given important roles than you, without question. -Almost all old employees have left/asked to leave Here's a red flag.The employees who joined during the time of old VP Ajay were now being called non-smart hires . The CTO has replaced EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. They were the people who gave their blood and sweat to build OYO as it is today. OYO has a technique to make you leave the company now. They'll hire someone totally new and make them sit over you on higher position, to take away you responsibilities. Or they'll just give you no hike. So you'll and leave. I was hired after the new CTO came but the older guys were so awesome. Now there are hardly 5 older guys left. Whole tech team replaced. -There's a flood of freshers.They hired more than 200 freshers in one batch from IITs(any branch)/good colleges against 70 devs who were left at one time. No one has any idea of the legacy system. There's total chaos. Much time goes in doing their ramp up if you're an old employee. So by the evening you'll feel to do the work yourself instead of teaching them everything. -In the last 6 months, they made jokingly new teams,to accommodate the new hires, and hired managers from outside for almost all of them. most of them total jerks. -90% people leave within 1 year of joining. So my advice: If you're a fresher or don't have any opportunity from anywhere else, . OYO will be a good place as you can learn. But then again come with no expectations of respect or growth, as you'll watch it getting shattered within 6 months. My papers on their way.

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.
