Pros

Despite it challenges, the company will stand up for you, ask your opinion and listen to you. I feel empowered everyday. I have fun with my team to the point where they feel like family.

Cons

Hours can be long, but as long as you can manage your time you will be fine. Everything else is what you can expect when you have a career in something.

Amazing Mission and Beautiful Design

Pros

The Mission is our biggest Pro. The mission within our organization is to build great spaces that will help our members in their day to day operations while they strive to accomplish their dreams. We provide incredible working environments that are both professional and fun. Our community managers are encouraged to help our members grow their businesses through introductions and collaborations with other companies within the community locally and Nationwide. Our member base continues to grow with more and more industries from Tech start ups to dog walkers, Fashion designers to Tax Attorneys and Life Coaches - Great people with incredible ideas! With 10, 000 plus professionals like these working in our buildings each day, any business can thrive in this environment, especially if they take full advantage of the membership as it's been designed for them. Events are planned thoughtfully with start ups in mind. The digital platform we have in place is an amazing way to meet others in your industry or in another that may be able to help you build a client base, or a website. Even if a team is working hard on a project and has no time for these platforms for success, professional and Business connections happen here organically in hallways, kitchens, or even in the elevator on your way to lunch. Our mission thus far has been successful. Seeing these successes first hand each and every day in every building is what makes this company great.

Cons

As our team continues to grow it is difficult to see where you fit in the big picture. Long term employees are left feeling as though they've hit the ceiling in salary and growth with the company, their talents and ambitions overlooked while a new hire in set in place to freshly learn company culture and operations through the older employees. An open mind and a public board of positions we are seeking would be give the community a chance to grow as we do, especially in new markets. Investing in our employees through growth leadership seminars and the like would benefit the company and make our employees feel valued.

We have an amazing mission to help people create

Pros

We have an amazing mission to help people create. It's clear that my colleagues believe in our mission and are passionate about helping to fulfill it. One of the biggest pros, aside from having an awesome mission, is that people develop meaningful friendships at WeWork. It is terrific to have colleagues that you can call friends. We get to know each other by doing real work and at our annual ski trip and summer camp. I also enjoy working across a diverse range of departments (designers, engineers, community leaders, lawyers, finance teams, real estate experts, sales leaders...) and with employees from a lot of different countries/cultural backgrounds (Brazil, Italy, USA, Israel, Mexico, Canada, UK...). Finally, my colleagues are also smart, entrepreneurial and quick to adapt to our ever-evolving business.

Cons

We have a lean team at this time, as we continue to re-invest profits back into new buildings, so we can expand our offerings to businesses. This does mean that we have to stretch ourselves, we are not as well staffed as a more established organization. As a result, this is not a place to come if you do not love multitasking, less structured tasks and working hard. There are also times that we are moving so fast that expectations of employees are less clear than they should be. We also need to work on our internal communication so that we all understand the what, how and why behind business decisions.
