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.

Great place to start career

Pros

The people that work for wework are awesome. Everybody is energized and excited about the work that they are doing. The office space that we work in is great, really nice place to go to everyday. Free coffee and beer. Employees get a chance to get equity in the company. Get to go to awesome events thrown by wework, such as summer camp which is unreal. Opportunities to get into many different departments and touch many aspects of the company if you want to.

Cons

Not much guidance so if you are not a go-getter you will most likely get lost. Not great work-life balance, long hours. Pay is decent but equity being granted to employees helps that.

Pros

My colleagues are some of the brightest and hard working people I've ever encountered. Also helps that they're social and fun. I feel lucky to not only be proud of the products and services we're creating & providing, but also be able to engage with such a smart & motivated group of people. You MUST be a self starter to thrive in the wework environment.

Cons

There is segregation among the different departments. Need to work on communication and collaborating with one another more. Also, coffee could be better...
