Pros

Witnessing how a majorly overvalued investment bubble bursts in the hands of a few, a great lesson in lamentable people and expectation management. A bitter yet valuable education in all things "unicorns" and deplorable bureaucracy.

Cons

Absence of work/life balance aside, what is worse is that the willingness of those to sacrifice such is absolutely taken for granted. OYO needs rather loud and inept flatterers to please their superiors on an hourly basis and/or quiet nobodies making the power-hungry upper management feel like absolute gods for bestowing them with a 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.
