Pros

Amazing earning potential. Great visibility and communication with leadership. Upward mobility and opportunity to change.

Cons

Things change frequently. If you are not welcoming to change or stuck in your old ways, this would be hard to overcome.

Pros

Flexible work hours, brand name when looking from the outside.

Cons

A big vacuum of local leadership in the West. Insecure senior management who surrounds themselves with "Yes Man's". Highly incompetent Senior/Mid Level leadership, most of the people were stagnant in their respective careers at their previous firms saw this as an opportunity to jump ship and brought all the bad habits from their previous companies here as well.

Pros

Flexibility to work remotely on occasion

Cons

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.
