Pros
I came to this job from a very unhealthy department at a hip independent news and media company. The interview process was very well thought out and gave me a lot of confidence in the switch I was making, that I would be working with smart valuable people. I can't speak to some of the lesser reviews on this site for other departments, but the Digital Dept is very well organized and has plenty of smart people to learn from. Leadership in this department is robust and heavily anchored in strong tech and startup backgrounds that I am continually impressed with. I am a huge fan of the culture in this team and felt like I was able to be included and make a ton of new friends with the same career passions as me right away. The teams are very open about employees learning new skills they are interested in, or switching around projects and products to keep the people here interested and happy with their work.
Cons
WeWork has some of the same pains as other successful new-ish companies who expanded quickly in their market. Not everything is perfect here, and there are still adjustments being made in the department around project planning and yearly goals with a rapidly expanding team. BUT that doesn't mean they aren't addressing these pains at the same time. I'm still impressed how quickly peer feedback is taken and acted on within this department.
