WeWork reviews

Too many. WeWork is functionally disorganized. No one has any idea what is going on, none of the teams are in sync and some times end up doing the same exact work which will go unnoticed. Most of our days are about meetings instead of doing actual work, you will have meetings about the same topics for weeks and nothing moves. Most of the management is either incompetent and inexperienced, they compensate for their lack of skill and ability by having more meetings and by micromanaging their employees. Projects and timelines are constantly changing, no one seems to know what is actually going on. With the company changes, people are sitting around literally doing nothing and are assigned projects that will never materialize just to look busy. If you go to HR or management for any of these internal issues, prepare to be gaslighted. WeWork takes zero responsibility for any wrongdoing on their part. HR is completely biased and will do anything to protect the company and to avoid public lawsuits. Believe everything you read in the news about this, it's true. If you're looking for a work/life balance, you can forget it. WeWork expects you to work around the clock. No one respects each other's timezones/ deadlines, it makes for a non-cohesive working environment and creates distrust around teams. While this is an international company, no one takes anyone's working times into consideration when completing work and will send something way past due. Let's talk about respect. What WeWork is currently doing to its employees mentally and emotionally is absolutely unacceptable. For almost 2 months the company has been "transparently" letting employees know there will be layoffs but hasn't made any major ones as of yet. People are constantly sitting in fear that their job might not exist, they are miserable, they don't want to be there and are just sticking around to get their hopefully big severance check. They know employees are spending their days searching for new jobs, calling in "sick", taking vacation days all to look for new jobs but are turning the other way in hopes that people will quit instead.

Where do you begin? - The biggest problem is there is absolutely no structure and no leadership. Constant changes and reorgs with no insight as to when things will be solidified or what responsibilities will cover moving forward. - People are fired left and right without warning. You have no idea why or when it's going to happen, and people who were most recently fired didn't receive PIPs or notification that they were underperforming. - Summer Camp = one step away from Fyre Festival. It was HELL. - Weird leadership meetings where people cry, bare their souls and more. It's bizarre and unprofessional, and doesn't help with people thinking we're a cult. - The 'perk' of working remotely is only a perk when there's a structure in place to support it. - Pay is below market rate and benefits are sub-par at best. - Somehow there's constant money for off-sites and retreats but no money to properly fill roles. You will work the workload of at least 2 people. - For some roles you will travel constantly with little to no notice. There's no regard for family, pets, or life outside of work. WeWork is a mess - from start to finish. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.
