Pros
I was attracted to WeWork having worked in two locations at my previous role. The basis for my interest in the company was the excitement and passion that was generated by the WeWork team in my building and I thought it could be something brilliant to be a part of.
Before my interview I, as part of my research jumped onto Glassdoor to check out the company review and look for pointers on salary. A significant portion of these reviews were negative - raising alarms about culture, low salary and poor work/life balance. ALARM bells were ringing.
Despite this, I attended my first interview, and a few subsequent interviews and now I work here and I ADORE it.
I studied the WeWork values and mission and it truly is evident in practice. If you're looking for job satisfaction and the chance to be a part of something bigger than yourself and part of a community of passionate creators - think about it!!
Pros: competitive salary, free breakfast, free coffee made by barista, tea, fruit, nap room, fully paid company trips (x 2 a year), passionate and intelligent people, constant asking of feedback from management, great IT set up with Macbook air etc. Lots of emphasis of training, development and progression through company. People are genuinely happy to work here which shocked me!
Cons
To be honest - not a job for someone who wants to work 9-5 and do the bare minimum. You have to want to work hard, progress, be ambitious, be excited about the mission.
