Pros

Great innovative and liberal environment being surrounded by typical startup culture. Very motivating and ambitious vibe which helps push you forward.

Cons

Being that it is a startup, work life balance can be a challenge. Working overtime is essentially a guarantee. Also, since the company is rather new and is growing very rapidly, the infrastructure is very poorly structured and thus results in a very chaotic environment.

Great Mission And Environment

Pros

The people you work with on a day-to-day basis are all passionate, smart, and extremely supportive of each other. The company has also been putting in lots of processes and training to really teach our current staff and management how to grow and be successful. We have a lot of great perks and fun workplace "extras". Awesome coffee, barista, amazing designed office, music playing, random fun events, performances, off site events, etc. The culture that recognizes we spend a ton of time at work, but it can still be fun and feel like home. WeWork is on a mission to really change the way people view their work and their lives in general. We all have our separate daily roles but we all believe that working together, sharing ideas, constantly supporting, constantly say "yes", and doing things the right way will change the world. Not only for our business, or the the startup world, or even for the general workforce, but for all people and their daily lives everywhere.

Cons

We work a lot of hours. Training or mandatory "team building" events are held on late nights and weekends. Sometimes we miss weekends or nights with our families. But many of us are young enough and scrappy enough that we understand that some sacrifices now will pay off in the long run.

Exciting and Challenging

Pros

Working at WeWork helped to restore my confidence in myself as a professional. I collaborate with with employees from different departments, at all levels, and am treated well, listened to and respected. That is certainly not the case for most companies I've worked for. There's an optimistic and exciting energy in the workplace that is contagious. The hours can be long, but the day goes by super fast, and when you believe in the concept, it's worth the hard work.

Cons

Rigorous, often chaotic as the company is growing fast. There have certainly been some growing pains.
