The most unorganized company ever!!!

Pros

Nice working environment in terms of offices but other than that nothing good can be said

Cons

We Work has to be the most unorganized company out there with no structure or processes in place from top to bottom. If you are in the UK you are expected to work until 18:00 every day with company meetings made after this time which are compulsory !!! The place is chaos with people running around everywhere from one meeting to the next. You are lead to believe that you are coming into a culture of togetherness and "WE" this could not be further from the truth and you are left on your own from the beginning to make the job up as you go along. Avoid this place at all costs and don't believe all the rubbish that they tell you!

Pros

Cool Offices, Members, Events and Presentations, Some Colleagues are Amazing

Cons

We World Believers, CEO is presents as a Narcissistic Cult Leader, There is a core of believers that are inner sanctum, Lots of back stabbing, Company is no longer a startup and news reports frequently speak of it loosing money, Feels unstable as an employee, offered shares but those were to be drip feed over 5 years, No feedback at probation staff review, my termination was discussed with numerous other staff before I was ambushed for the discussion, On joining they could not pay me an I was self funded for 4 months with no salary, expected to share hotel accommodation with unknown other staff when traveling as a senior Director, Very long hours, No positive feedback, Lots of cult style evangelical speeches by the CEO, Promoted culture of transparency and open-ness (but the CEO is hived off with a closed office), CEO and selected staff party in a closed off room no one else can enter at venue opening parties, CEO operates by establishing a culture of fear, Strange place to work

Just a mess

Pros

work from home flexibility location flexibility manage your own schedule company perks (coffee, food etc) unlimited PTO (if you can find the time to do it)

Cons

A mess in management and constant organizational change. Overworked without solution to manage work pipeline Overlooked unless if you are part of the in-crowd. Constant reinventing the wheel for the sake of adding value to position without any real change. Management and leadership continually waffle on their goals. So-So compensation for the amount of workload for starting a satellite office.
