WeWork is a Worthwhile Experience

Pros

WeWork is a booming company full of people that are excited to contribute to it's growth. They offer many employee benefits including free food and catering (all the time for all events). On top of all of the fruit, coffee, and fruit water you could ever drink, WeWork offers employee engagement events including World Cup viewings, Women of WeWork gatherings, Summer Camp and Global Summit. They really promote employee wellness.

Cons

Although they promote so much employee wellness, it is not always followed through on. I don't know anyone who hasn't felt incredibly overworked and drained. A billion dollar company is still operating as a startup and is cannot hire quickly enough to support the workload. Although they are hiring at a fast rate, the new hires' managers are people who have only been at WeWork anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, and often don't know enough about the company and it's history and operating procedures to truly inform new hires. Because of these feelings of overworking and being burned out, many people stay at WeWork for shorter periods of time. Anyone who has been at WeWork for 2+ years is looked at as a "veteran".

Pros

a) Great culture - almost like college and not really corporate b) Two free international trips every year (not for all teams though) c) Good brand on your CV (maybe?)

Cons

a) Inexperienced Leadership, poor guidance or mentoring - the managers here are not people you would look up to or learn from (save for perhaps 1 or 2 of them, most others in the Leadership are very weak in their ability to manage or mentor) b) Heavy work burden with no respite - slog through the day, through the night and through the week - you still haven't done enough! c) Very poor systems and processes - too much time in manual efforts and grunt work - things which ideally should be automated for a company of this size and stature d) No idea of career or growth opportunities - no clear hierarchy in a number of teams - and very little done to motivate or reward people financially or otherwise The leaders are happy as long as you just keep doing the work they hired you for e) And FINALLY, refer back to the title of this review! This is a different entity from WeWork globally - and cannot say any more here as this would become insider information and for all that you know, the management or HR would get this review removed if I reveal further information :)

Pros

Beer? Colleagues. Beer? Coffee. Showers at HQ. Comfy furniture. Good gym discounts. Crappy benefits. Nice bathrooms.

Cons

The management is completely deaf to problems within the company. The entire company has an incredibly high turnover - I've been here nearly a year and have seen at least 1 - 2 people fired per week, sometimes four. I've seen people quit with no warning. The environment is toxic, the lip service paid to "community" is total crap. I think Adam wants to care, but he is so far removed he cannot see how much the company completely sucks. It is sad, really, because WeWork is such a great company for the members. Too bad it treats it's employees like children, has a miserable HR department (the CHRO is crazy and completely fake and toxic), does not support it's employees. It is too bad, it has such potential to be a place where people want to work.
