Pros

- Free food and beverages - Trendy (but overcrowded) office with a barista - Access to all WeWork locations (clean bathroom all over NYC) - Wellness initiatives like yoga and massages - Good pay & benefits

Cons

Don't work here. Seriously - just don't do it. I regret not taking the Glassdoor reviews more seriously. This place is a cult and you're either drinking the Kool Aid or you're not. It felt like high school. If you're not "popular" or have a senior title people will make you feel like you don't matter. As with any organization, there's a lot of politics going on. However, WeWork takes it to another level. I found the majority of the people at HQ to be extremely entitled - literally berating the community team if the coffee tap on the 6th floor wasn't working. Most managers are in jobs they are not qualified for and were extremely poor leaders which led to many unhappy and discouraged employees. This is the kind of place that doesn't value your worth until you're half way out the door. Don't let them fool you about WeWork Summer Camp. It is NOT in London and getting there is a pain. Yes, it is an experience unlike any other but it was GROSS (filthy to the point that people were having panic attacks). So many people had 10+ hour flights only to arrive and not be fed for hours. Lots of immature behavior exhibited by people of all ages. This place needs to get it together.

Pros

Free Alcohol, some trips abroad

Cons

They talk a lot about growth opportunities but they promote people in the most nepotistic way, they pretend to be a family but just expect you to work unpaid overtime and basically expect you to live in the office and work 12 hours a day. When there is a major problem they'll seep you under a rug bu at the same time try to promote the idea of community and inclusion.
