Please don't believe the hype

Pros

Good benefits, but not anything you can't get from similar companies of similar size.

Cons

Where should I begin? Lets start with the fact that we are highly understaffed underpaid and overworked. Managements response to this is essentially "lets just work better". This response comes from a company valued at over 18 billion yet refuses to employ people as necessary. They rather fill us with a bunch of fluff. To me personally the worst part is how they have people coming on here and talking up the company instead of calling it like it is, that it's in some serious need of restructuring. PLEASE don't believe the hype. Oh and forget about any sort of pay raise or promotions unless your one of the favorites. Better make friends quick if you want to move up because it sure won't be based on your work ethic.

Pros

Energetic and enthusiastic community. Unique offices and buildings that fit the neighborhoods. Lots of interaction with amazing members. Beer on tap.

Cons

A cult-like environment among the employees. Absolutely no loyalty. Lots of turnover. Lots of catty office politics. Indirect consequences for disagreeing. Long hours. Employees are expendable. The facilities are not as nice as they appear. Management very slow to respond. Over-complicated and redundant online platform. Penny-pinchers. Overbearing management. Sales are more important than the community (which is directly contradictory to their mission statement). WeWork's facade is not their real self.

Just say no.

Pros

You will learn how to NOT run a business as well as learn how to NOT treat people. If you enjoy being respected, just run.

Cons

Everything is a con with WeWork. I don't have enough time to sit here and write out every awful thing. They are growing too fast and forget to maintain the buildings and put proper HR policies in play. They do not value their employees time, nor do they value their employee's opinions. They have also lied to investors about how much they are worth. Moral of the story: a toxic work environment + lying to investors = not great for business.
