Pros

Besides the equity in this role there are no pros to working here. There are MANY people here that are just waiting for a payout to get out of here. Hopefully they get it, but this could very well be an overvalued company that will just be another story for HBR to write about in the next couple years about the rise and fall of a company managed poorly.

Kontras

The list can be quite lengthy - but everyone on here has hit most of the points. If you care about your career and want to learn/grow - best using your skills elsewhere. I'll just make a couple points on certain aspects of the company I noticed. Culture - there is no real culture here but a fear-based work environment. "Do this because some executive wants this now" They confuse company culture with "work like crazy hours, here is some beer, we're doing this to change the world" - don't believe the bs, its so CEO and his cronies can make $$$. They say that to convince you that paying you little and working you like crazy is all worth it. Management - here is how it goes with management. They got hired because they know Adam, Artie, or something like that. These VP's realize that the area they now own is a mess - so they hire someone else with a ridiculous title and they also realize the dept. is a disaster. The cycle continues of bloated hiring as they just continue to hire with no one wanting to go in and make changes. Also throw in people that just have no clue how to manage people to now own a team. Overall Company - It's just terribly sad because the product is ok but the place is being run by people seeking a thrill of the next "amazing deal in this new market!" Looking to China for your growth is probably not the smartest idea in my opinion - look at Uber. Also, the recent news articles don't look to be showing things are going well there either. Lastly, co-working isn't new and WeWork isn't doing anything unique - the entry into the market isn't very high and competition will just offer lower prices (to a customer that is very price sensitive).

Pros

Weekends off Solid structure that you couldn’t find in a normal cafe Base rate that would be equivalent to working a busy cafe with tips

Kontras

Depending on location, the customer flow can be insanely heavy. Members tend to come multiple times a visit.

Pros

VERY cool HQ--beer, fruit water, and other treats on tap, free breakfast, amazing decor, lots of events and cool trendy vendors who bring free stuff--if you like to humblebrag via Insta, you'll love this place. Some cool people --celebrities come in and out, your colleagues are generally very attractive folks, there's a sense of excitement and true commitment to the work (borderline evangelism) depending on who you work with and what you do. Name recognition and valuation -- company is a rising star and it's worth having on your resume. A cool mission on the surface--bringing community together, helping people do what they love (making work a passion rather than a chore) through connection.

Kontras

This place is like drinking from one continuous Kool-Aid jug. VERY cult-y and cliquey. You are either in or you're out, and if you're out, rather than cut you loose right away, they gaslight you. It's actually kind of shocking how many people I've seen be treated so poorly here, and perhaps no coincidence that they were folks of color. Kind of hard to find the down to earth people I did find. I enjoyed the Community teams and Security/Ops/Real Estate people I met, probably because they were constantly "hustling," but the HR team (the PEOPLE team, for goodness sake) and a lot of other "prominent" faces were consistently rude, with an overinflated sense of self and zero idea of how the WeWork "values" translate into behaviors/contributions from a prospective employee POV. You have to have been there since the start, or be prepared to ingratiate yourself, to get any traction in your professional development or career path. I was always shocked how badly my manager wanted to be liked, and how much they were willing to do to be liked, to get any kind of clout and/or promotion just bc they hadn't started out at WeWork as a community team member. Never mind that they were super qualified for their job. Pay varies depending on who you are; some people earn market value...some people very very much don't, and there doesn't seem to be any consistency that determines which is which. TGIM. Thank God it's Monday. Mandatory Monday meetings. Sometimes they circulate tequila shots. Is that a plus? Not sure. Summer Camp. Adult Summer Camp. With EDM, people in salmon colored shorts, and lots of loud rowdy entitled folks. If that's anything but a con for you, you probably belong here and godspeed.
