Pros

I was attracted to WeWork having worked in two locations at my previous role. The basis for my interest in the company was the excitement and passion that was generated by the WeWork team in my building and I thought it could be something brilliant to be a part of. Before my interview I, as part of my research jumped onto Glassdoor to check out the company review and look for pointers on salary. A significant portion of these reviews were negative - raising alarms about culture, low salary and poor work/life balance. ALARM bells were ringing. Despite this, I attended my first interview, and a few subsequent interviews and now I work here and I ADORE it. I studied the WeWork values and mission and it truly is evident in practice. If you're looking for job satisfaction and the chance to be a part of something bigger than yourself and part of a community of passionate creators - think about it!! Pros: competitive salary, free breakfast, free coffee made by barista, tea, fruit, nap room, fully paid company trips (x 2 a year), passionate and intelligent people, constant asking of feedback from management, great IT set up with Macbook air etc. Lots of emphasis of training, development and progression through company. People are genuinely happy to work here which shocked me!

Cons

To be honest - not a job for someone who wants to work 9-5 and do the bare minimum. You have to want to work hard, progress, be ambitious, be excited about the mission.

Pros

Their marketing parties are well done, and many of the members are awesome. Most wework colleagues are also very nice people.

Cons

Wework is a volatile place to work at, and sacking are an easy and regular event in the company. The CEO is extremely vain and naraccistic, driving a ruthless business model. The business speaks of love and the sharing economy, but it's only for winning hearts and minds - it's a swindle! Fundamentally the business is,about making money at all costs, it's very stingy and lean operationally. You as an employee are a disposable tool for the business, a consumable. The leadership is generally very young and lacking experience in both business and life. Senior management are also typically very young, and work like a small elite club of privileged employees. At the time of employment they will say how dynamic,.and fantastic the company is, that it has amazing growth, and it's an incredible opportunity to work there. What they don't tell you is the crazy hours, your expected to work all night, that the company is in management and process chaos, that the business is super stingy, and you will constantly be on edge in regards to getting fired. Also expect to fly long haul in economy class, and share a hotel room with someone else even in senior management.
