Pros

It sounds sexy on the resume. A lot of people also bring dogs into work which is great. There is cereal in the morning.

Cons

Executive team is not authentic at all. They say they believe in hard work and good culture but not true. If you are related to an executive, you will be paid a lot even if you are not qualified, otherewise you are below market. If you are an executive, you get special benefits other people don't even though we're supposed to be "family" and "together". Work life balance is not existent, you are expected to be on call if not in the office. When an executive was asked about giving employees heads up about headquarters changing because employees changed their childcare and made life decisions based on it, the executive said then next time don't plan your life based on it. Our recruiting website says we provide world class benefits which is a joke and new hires should ask about it.

Pros

They fly you out to some location for "summer camp" a few day off work and a huge party with all WeWork members and employees. You also get to travel somewhere for the winter time summit, if you miss either you can travel and work at any WeWork for about a week. The usually throw parties with food & booze, and once in a blue moon you go out for a team outing. Lots of dogs in the workplace.

Cons

On average working 52 hour weeks, unreasonable, changing expectations. You become your job, literally. Sometimes you're working 10 hours with a 30 minute lunch break. You have someone managing you who has been at the company for maybe a few months longer than you, seniority doesn't mean quality.
