Pros

-When I joined a few years ago, WeWork still had that wonderful "grow, build, test" atmosphere where innovation, passion, and "make it work excitement" ruled. -There are pockets of lovely people working in NYC and SF

Cons

-Inept HR department with zero strategy, consistency, or empathy for employees (not that this is really anything new for an HR department) -Inconsistent performance improvement plans (PIPs) that are not based on performance but rather used as an excuse to fire employees who are critical anything at the company. -Brutally insensitive "walk out" layoffs and terminations. They call these "Mission Achieved 20" e.g. 20% reduction in staff. -A culture of yes people only -- if you complain or raise concerns, you will be fired or marginalized. -Chaotic, whiplash, and no vision from leadership -A COO / Head of HR with no HR experience or empathy (she admits this openly to employees) -Diversity "lip service" only, no real strategy or meaningful investment in it. Employees scream for it, leadership ignores. -A CEO who celebrates burnout culture and pushes an overtly religious cult environment. -A product (the office spaces themselves) that doesn't work well. Shoddy construction, horrible internal IT and video conference systems, lack of water for people to drink, inconsistent quality of staff. Walk into a Google, Facebook and Uber office and they're 10x better built and designed than a WeWork -- the supposed "office of the future" -Terrible comp: no bonus, no stock refreshers, comp not tied to performance. -Inexperienced managers and directors -Embarrassing internal communications -Toxic and bro culture
