Passive Aggressive Toxic Cliquish Environment- No Diversity!!
Pros
Everyone knows the offices are gorgeous and you do get the freedom to work anywhere in your building and in other wework locations in your manager approves that. There is also free breakfast everyday and free dinner every Monday so that is a big plus. Also depending on the team you are on you get to take to free trips with you colleagues for free. Also it is stress free to not have to be in at exactly 9am and to be able to dress casually.
Cons
Before I was hired I asked if there was a good amount of people of color who worked for the company and the HR rep gave me a round about answer. So now that I am here I see why. The majority of people of color specifically African-American or Hispanic work as part of the cleaning crew or low income jobs. I am myself am a person of color so I always feel extremely out of place and an outcast as soon as I walk in their headquarters. And even on my actual team there are a lot of cliques to the point where you can feel extremely alone even though you’re surrounded by hundreds and of people walking up and down the hallways. So if you’re not in the “in crowd” then you will be treated like an outcast. You feel like you are working alone even though you are a part of a team. I feel more comfortable saying hi and talking and socializing with the cleaning crew then I do with my own teammates. People cast you out to the point where they don’t even want you to sit with them or even socialize with them at all to the point where they go as far as to try to avoid being in your presence. The passive aggressive behavior has taken a toll on me mentally in a negative way so I am currently job searching.
