Pros
1. Yes, it's a startup culture & Long working hours but that's what you expect in such organizations which grow exponentially. 2. But the best part is that there is still a huge emphasis on culture & values which I think is where many start-ups lose it in the name of growth. very impressed how WeWork holds its values so high or at least tries too. 3. The pay offered to young employees is definitely above the market benchmark, I doubt any other Hospitality, design or construction company pays as much as WeWork for the same amount of experience. 4. You get to interact with people across 25+ countries who share the same vision 5. You have unlimited physical access to 600+ locations in some of the best cities in the world. 6. You get to travel abroad at least once or twice a year 7. WeWork has an amazing referral programme which enables you to earn more if you are willing to do so 8. The leadership is young and yes it comes with its own problems, but it makes the culture informal and fast-paced in terms of decision making. The decisions may not be always correct but I think at this stage of the business the priority is quick decision making & then learning from mistakes while we can afford it. 9. WeWork India is a separate entity to the global WeWork.com, which is in fact a blessing in disguise as you have amazing flexibility & scope to get things done locally & innovatively than just following what the global does. This gives you huge exposure & experience.
Cons
1. Better planning required at the top management & more thoughtful decision-making in terms of Growth, Cashflows & Hiring 2. People at the same levels have huge deviation wrt the Salary (As high as 100% sometimes), the ideal deviation should not be more than +_ 25% for the people in the same level across functions. 3. Please don't mistake when I say about 100% Salary deviation as this is more of an effect of a person's previous Job & urgency of the Job Opening. Most are offered a very good hike from their previous Jobs but its only fair to have a proper bandwidth for each role. 4. Sometimes it can get really hard to maintain Worklife balance when you have deadlines.
