Pros

Brand name, Money, can't think of anything else.

Cons

1. Nasper's have a lot of Money, they acquire companies but they do not care what happens to them after that. 2. Aasaanjobs was acquired by Nasper's, it was handed over to OLX to run in India. But they failed to provide any vision or direction to the company. I have seen Aasaanjobs pre and post acquisition. Before there was so much clarity on vision, direction, communication was open and transparent. But now everything has changed and has become exactly the opposite. It seems people who are running the show from OLX do not understand the space / business they are in. 3. With Aasaanjobs, they changed strategy every 6 months, brought in new people. Everytime new leadership came, the team had to spend months onboard them. 4. There are many more strategic blunders which OLX management which would be difficult to mention here. The bottom line is, as an employee I do not feel empowered to raise issues within the company neither do I see anyone else empowered on the top to take decisions or to challenge strategy changes. 5. AJ's start up culture, fail fast learn fast, quick decision making has all gone for a toss. Now AJ has been covered with a corporate layer which has confusion, slow decision making and has become political.

Pros

Global company with multiple ways of making money. Smart manage who really understand their business

Cons

many business with different priorities sometimes makes it difficult for people who are not in the central office to make a difference. I suppose this is similar to many other large companies, but in this case there is sometimes a disconnect
