Pros

- Lots of Ownership - You won't be bored, a lot of things to do - Young co workers

Cons

I don't mind the long working hours, but thats if its once in a while and productive to a project that I can show for. Long working hours are caused by endless pointless events, limited resources, and "everything is community responsibility".

Pros

challenging engineering problems, work remote wednesdays from other wework locations in nyc, very fun culture, middle/direct management is really communicative, company feels like a special place to work at.

Cons

rest of company doesn't fully understand engineering, and there's no CTO. higher ups are far removed from the average software engineer.

Pros

I can't speak for community jobs but I work in tech for WeWork. No clue why the company has gotten such lukewarm reviews -- I saw this as I went through the interview process but my experience thus far has been nothing but extraordinary. Pros would definitely be the work atmosphere, free coffee / snacks, regular events paid by the company, awesome lounge areas, and coworkers that, for the most part, are excited about the company and what it does for employees. The most immense benefit of working here however is the endless networking opportunity. WeWork is home to thousands of companies, so you'll meet people from every realm of business. It is an opportunity to make connections with people of different backgrounds, learn, and grow as a person. That, to me, is huge. Benefits package is good, ~3 weeks paid days off and a lenient sick day policy. Two big trips per year and they seem like a ton of fun from what I've heard (haven't been yet).

Cons

Working hours, especially for community workers, can be long. I work in tech for the company and my hours are 9-6, but I regularly see the community team working outside those boundaries. I can understand that complaint. Truthfully, my days fly by and I feel quite accomplished by the end of the day. One other complaint I saw was compensation, but I have a hard time relating to that as in my experience my salary was competitive even as a relatively new member of the workforce (I graduated college last year). The company definitely has a strong culture. Some may be put off by the "cult vibe" but to me it is simply a driven company with clear values and a mission. One other thing I would say -- no 401k contribution as of yet, but they're "working on it".
