How are things at OYO Rooms? long time no news

How are things at OYO Rooms? long time no news- Grapevine

In last 6-8 months there has been lot of layoffs and many startup getting scrutinised due to funding etc..

But I can’t see Oyo name anywhere… Not much layoffs or nothing on their crunch.

Are they doing good or successful?

How is OYO doing ?

It’s considered immature to speak negatively of your past employers. But i am going to share some anyway. 

Used to work at Oyo with Ritesh - directly. Havent seen a more deluded personality - high headed, pretentious and above all, bipolar. He used to speak so rudely at times that it makes you question if the money is worth it. I have often wanted to tell some people - if he invested all the softbank funding into Nifty, LPs would have had a decent return than the ever failing IPO attempts. 

I am so glad the valuation reality kicked in and humbled these founders down. At the end of the day though they amassed a lot of wealth. But at what cost. 

Eager to hear on Byju BKLora.

from Malaysian sovereign wealth fund Khazanah. Does this indicate further delays to IPO?

Or is he just managing his image prior to Oyo IPO?

Ritesh Agarwal seems a bit fake on Shark Tank. Feel like he acts too nice and simple minded. People who worked at Oyo, is this portrayal accurate?

Corporate Strategist

I have been following Ritesh Agarwal since I was in college. Have been quite impressed by his humility inspite of all the success he has achieved at such a young age. 

For people who have interacted with him, how's is to work with?

How is Ritesh Agarwal in real life?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Heard from a friend that about 40 to 50% workforce to be fired. Saw some post on Linkedin from product and tech folks working at oyo with open to work tag. 

Irony is Airbnb had the best quarter ever.

Massive layoff at oyo

Product Owner

Got an interview scheduled for a Sr. Leadership role. They have a bad reviews on Glassdoor, but their growth story & product looks promising. 
Any advice from this community?

How's pepper content for Sr. Leadership roles?

Channel Sales

Considering there’s already too many reccos on great places to work, I am creating this thread to raise awareness - Please comment on organisations that you have worked at and don’t recco to someone who is looking to work there. Basis - Toxic culture , incompetent leadership , unstable finances or anything that makes it a bad place to work

Worst companies to work for

Zombie startups - Startups that have messed it up already. They are alive but just biting their time. Doom is inevitable for these startups in a few months

Guys, applying for a role at OYO. Biz-Ops role, mid management role. How's the work culture and work life balance there. Don't want to go at a toxic place again.

Work Culture at OYO?

Strategy & Operations

Oyo still feels overpriced

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

What's the worst company you have worked for?

ICICI Bank, they had a strict sign in timing policy where if you are late to corporate office, half day salary would be cut, It would be reversed only when manager approves. The sign out time used to be 5.15pm, but you would be made to sit till 8 pm by most of the managers even if your job is done for the day. A sign out at 6 pm used to be called as half day by most of the managers. 
 I heard now they donot have this dictatorial policy.
