WeWork reviews

I Had high hopes when I joined wework, My values aligned with their alleged 'portrayal' and was impressed by the work culture and ethic and boy I couldn't be more wrong. The company is growing so fast and Adam usually speaks about growing pains but he's so far up that we has no idea what happens at base level. Almost everyone is stressed out and most times not cordial with anyone. Its hardly a community when no one comes out to help you in times of need. Because Wework is in 'growth' mode it will accept each and every project without even thinking about its implications financially, socially or most important environmentally. Management continuously keep changing and most of the time they are not qualified and have no people skills. For a multi-disciplinary team there is so much tension and back stabbing its hardly constructive and almost everyone is just trying to play their own agenda. This has possibility been the most toxic work environment I have ever worked in. Everything is on Chat! you don't even sit with your team which creates further communication issues than there already is. In the little time I was there I did not have a single meaningful face to face conversation with anyone. The CEO himself once mentioned the two things wework needs to work on is communication and retention of talent and I think its miserably failing on both counts. He also mentioned that we all learn and grow together and make mistakes but fortunately for him he cannot get fired.

Never been so mistreated in my life: - It took SIX months and SIX interviews to obtain a contract, always having to literally beg for feedback. ( They would go weeks without giving me an answer even though they reassured me I had the job ) - The company DEMANDS your presence at events outside of work hours and you ARE NOT compensated on these. ex: Every Monday there is an event from 18:00 to 20:00 called TGIM where the presence of employees is mandatory but not compensated. When I asked my hiring manager to discuss my contract and asked for an explanation for this, this was seen as having a " bad attitude " . - The company uses the term " VOLUNTEERING" in emails when forcing employees to attend events for legal reasons. -I was left alone numerous times while I was still on training, dealing with issues I had NOT BEEN TRAINED ON , when I asked for the support I was bullied and screamed at. -Very Low salary
