Stay away (bad management)

Pros

Many of my colleagues were amazing and talented and uplifting

Cons

Unfortunately, despite having a great manager and colleagues it’s clear to see that Wework is not able to support most of their employees anymore. With constant organizational changes and indecisiveness, people are constantly getting let go. Through layoffs, I was told my team and my role was safe even 2 weeks before I was also inevitably let go. My biggest advice to upper management/ C suite leaders is to be honest and transparent. Do NOT give your employees blind hope that they are safe when they are not. Wework is unfortunately still going down a dark hole and I feel bad for the employees that will also be let go on a random Thursday while also being overworked.

Pros

WeWork was great for their autonomy. They trusted their employees to get their work done

Cons

Leadership was always changing and there was constant restructuring -- while well meaning, this also meant many layoffs during my time there

Upper Management Issues

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

The people you will meet both employees and community members are fantastic. You have some freedom during the day and each location has its own culture.

Cons

Upper management is horrible. They are fake and phony and lack transparency. I left on my own but witnessing how they handled layoffs is horrible. As layoffs approach, they begin to fire off of technicality so they don't have to pay severence or continued benefits

Layoffs all the time

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Laid off after 3 months not much pros besides my team was super great

Cons

Laid off after 3 months.. with pretty much no warning. I asked during the interview process about layoffs and they were very candid about needing this role. I would stay away, my entire team 6 months later has mostly been let go now.

Pros

Team is incredible at every level, you work with people who care, at least in the sales org.

Cons

Leadership is not great at communicating goals or missions, layoffs every few months, usually right before they pay out bonuses, which feels slimy.

Beware layoffs

Pros

- Competitive pay and medical benefits - Fair work/life balance - I gained a lot of experience as a result of doing the jobs of multiple people.

Cons

- I knew it would be a rocky road when I showed up the first day and they weren't expecting me. - Also: ongoing layoffs, dishonest and incompetent leadership team, no 401k match, bonus structure in flux, promotions not given when deserved
