Pros

If you are single, between the ages of 25-30, and love to drink +/or do drugs than this is the workplace for you.

Cons

Teams get switched around so quickly you do not have time to build a rapport which leaves you feeling unsupported and in turn unfulfilled. In the last year, there were multiple tiers created within the design department - Associate Designer, Interior Designer, and Senior Interior Designer - but there is little to no difference in the roles aside from salary. Lastly, teams are pushed so hard to deliver desks each month, in order to appease investors, that often times you are opening projects that look like construction sites which is depressing and embarrassing.

Awful. Don't do it.

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.
