WORST PLACE ON EARTH

Pros

Good place to make connections, nice office. Apart from that it’s terrible

Cons

1. HOURS. You work extremely long hours. I overlooked the negative reviews and I shouldn’t have. Trust me the bad reviews are all true. WeWork is extremely unorganized. 2. THROWN INTO THE FIRE. I had to work in this new position with zero training until a month later. No proper training in the first month meant I was yelled at a lot for things I did not even know how to do. Impossible. There is no right way to do anything, because the position looks different at every location and every manager has a different style, yet somehow your performance is still evaluated with the same metrics. 3. HIRE AND FIRE RUTHLESSLY. I was switched from leading x to y and back to x in my 6 months there. My manager also switched FOUR TIMES. Colleagues are hired and fired so fast. I WAS LET GO WITH NO NOTICE. FIRED ON THE SPOT, NO COMPENSATION. Horrible HR practices, this place is a joke. My very last manager was a child who had no idea how to manage anyone in the team. She doesn’t even have a college degree. I will end this by emphasising that I was fired with no notice and no compensation. HORRIBLE PLACE. Location is listed as APAC Uganda, but it is in APAC. Keeping location anonymous

Pros

Fast pace, ever evolving role. The company supports growth & encourages one developing their role within the company. The learning platform is incredible. The people & perks are great.

Cons

The one con is it's a bit like you become an expert in a limited role, less creative than past jobs. This is to streamline the incredibly fast programmes. You need to extend yourself to get the most out of it.
