CEO and Upper Management Don't Respect Employees

Anonymous employee

Pros

Trendy Coworkers (non upper management) are solid honest people

Cons

CEO and upper management have a blatant disregard and disrespect towards their employees (demanding 14+ hour days from SALARIED employees, telling employees to work over time (non salaried) but not record it, ignoring open discussion questions from employees telling them we are seriously underpaid)

Avoid This Company

Pros

Their marketing parties are well done, and many of the members are awesome. Most wework colleagues are also very nice people.

Cons

Wework is a volatile place to work at, and sacking are an easy and regular event in the company. The CEO is extremely vain and naraccistic, driving a ruthless business model. The business speaks of love and the sharing economy, but it's only for winning hearts and minds - it's a swindle! Fundamentally the business is,about making money at all costs, it's very stingy and lean operationally. You as an employee are a disposable tool for the business, a consumable. The leadership is generally very young and lacking experience in both business and life. Senior management are also typically very young, and work like a small elite club of privileged employees. At the time of employment they will say how dynamic,.and fantastic the company is, that it has amazing growth, and it's an incredible opportunity to work there. What they don't tell you is the crazy hours, your expected to work all night, that the company is in management and process chaos, that the business is super stingy, and you will constantly be on edge in regards to getting fired. Also expect to fly long haul in economy class, and share a hotel room with someone else even in senior management.

Poor management of a great company

Pros

they give the appearance of caring about employees by providing food, social hours , etc. the product is top notch

Cons

The CEO and most of the leadership team use the company as their own playground. Rampant abuses of the support staff such as being expected to work 15+ hours a day. All done under the guise of work hard play hard .
