Not for me but great for others

Pros

-WeWork is growing so fast that it is an amazing company to join -Great for a first job; then move on to another company

Cons

-Communication is awful between departments. No one takes accountability so you are always scrambling for new information to solve a situation/project. -If you are a "yes" person with a constant fake positive attitude who never questions (the cult), you will do well in the environment here. You don't know who you can trust. -Summer Camp and Summit are positives if you are in your 20's and want to party. If you are past that stage, you will dread sharing a tent at the first and possibly sharing a bed (if you are a woman), for the latter. -Mandatory Events in the evening to bond once again are great if you are just starting out in life You can drink and have fun. If you have children and a spouse, they are tough to manage, but you are expected to. Most employees are not in this situation anyway. Google age discrimination lawsuits. -Philosophy seems to be they hire some people with less experience and pay less. I will say most of the employees are top notch in quality/intelligence/ethics. But there is a learning curve and many work in fear.

Pros

WeWork is truly in a rapid growth stage: there's a lot of really exciting work to be done, and the company's mission and values are truly inspiring. There's workplace flexibility unlike I've ever experienced — opportunities to explore different communities, flex your schedule in order to accommodate working with global teams, a lot of autonomy to focus my efforts on the things that matter most. The workspaces themselves are really beautiful, and that makes me want to come into the office (even if I may not need to!).

Cons

Because of the lack of structure and seeming lack of direction, I sometimes feel like I'm meandering a bit: while I love the flexibility of working where I please, it would be nice to have an assigned desk or space so that I can truly call it my "home base" (and, by extension, start to build a network). Because of how quickly the company is growing and the lack of resources to map where we've been, it's extremely challenging to know where to find the information you need — or even to find the right person who can put you in the right distraction. While there's definitely a lot of energy, the corporate culture does skew young, to the point where it sometimes seems immature. Plus, it's blatantly homogeneous, which can be off-putting to a person of color.
