Pros

Paid training, enthusiastic trainers, no office, make your own schedule for the most part, get to travel around your region, ambitious coworkers

Cons

OYO botched it's US debut and presented an embarrassing and untrustworthy image. The CEO apparently doesn't believe in marketing or PR besides slowly buying and converting a few hotels in places like Times Square and Vegas. Word of mouth among the tight-knit community 100% necessary to OYO success already decided OYO isn't worth it, even with the truly epic-sounding value prop. Turns out 1-3 star hotels & motels don't really pay any taxes and keep most everything off-book, so even 30-40% revpar increase isn't worth it for them. Leadership didn't care when presented with legit market feedback. No surprise OYO let go of most of the US workforce right before the pandemic since they have a huge presence in China and knew it would be a nation-closing situation.

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.
