Pros

Free beer and social events 90% attractive colleagues Future projects look like we might actually make something we can use as employees, unfortunately 90% will never be able to afford what they're designing.

Cons

Glass doors and concrete ceilings, they don't promote within, you'll get a meaningless title with no authority but all the responsibility. They have a revolving door of executives. One will come in, shake up everything you do, leave, then they hire another to do the same thing. Its unbelievably anti-productive but hey Adam's friends need jobs too. More work on your plate than you'll ever be thanked for completing. They're hypocrites. You'll be "threatened" about dating colleagues but they have no problem with "select" employees dating, even if its their employees. Your salary is set in stone, you'll be told any number of reasons why they don't pay anywhere near competitively and why your raises don't compliment your constantly increasing workload and responsibilities. But they're very tight lipped about executive salaries. They somewhat ignored the question during recent "town halls" which the CEO uses as an excuse to rant about how great he is and how lucky we are to work for him.

Pros

The company pays for unlimited, coffee, tea and alcohol. They throw amazing parties and will often pass out free intoxicants to employees. You will meet incredible people at WeWork and make friends which last a lifetime. Benefits are OK, healthcare mostly taken care of. Includes vision but no dental. 10 sick days, 10 vacation days. Only some employees get equity.

Cons

Terrible culture, management creates a culture of overwork in employees. People regularly stay until 9 or 10 at night. Unreasonable pressure on employees to drink and participate in company events. Employees who don't participate in company events (like their giant keggers) are publicly shamed at team meetings. A culture of detached sexism and nepotism. Management promotes abusive work environment with yelling, insults and blaming of others.

Pros

I met some great people and went to some fun parties in the beginning. Good job for a recent graduate. There's some room for growth depending on the department and if you're related to the CEO.

Cons

Where do I start? They start every single employee off with the same salary, regardless of department or experience which is unlivable in NYC. No diversity on the executive team. No communication or HR department to even talk to about your concerns. The CEO thinks he is literally God and can talk his way to your heart regardless of the change he claims will happen and NEVER does. (Don't drink the Kool-Aid!) Alcohol and parties do not make up for the lack of respect, understanding and the simple appreciation your employees strive for. No work/life balance. Prepared to be stressed at all times.
