WeWork reviews

No retirement plan. Those who don't work at corporate HQ in NY (those who run the actual WeWork's around the world) seem to be under a lot of pressure, are far from most of the exciting stuff, and seem to have a high turnover rate. WeWork is a company where everything is constantly changing which has its upside (innovation) but the constant workload/title/department/goal shifts can contribute to stress, uncertainty, wasted work, and job insecurity (people are laid off or let go very easily and with little warning). Some departments are more competent than others. Work hours are flexible but that means a lot of people, depending on their job, end up staying late or bringing their work home with them. It's nice that WeWork tries to innovate but some of their plans seem half-baked or inspired by the whims of the leadership. Finally the hip "do what you love" attitude can be a bit superficial. The best example of this is the late night TGIM (thank god it's Monday) meetings. No matter how cool your job is most people want to go home at the end of the day, not attend a dull speech, mandatory brainstorming session, or rally.

12 hour days, mandatory parties, inexperienced upper management, horrible pay WeWork demands that you give everything to the company, there is no work life balance. They preach diversity, but all I see are white men , even representing our international teammates. They preach about all of their growth opportunities, but if you start in Community, expect a dead end to any career aspirations you had. They say a lot with no action, you get no recognition for all of the hours and time you put in and the pay is horrible. The CEO is absolutely delusional, constantly talking over his teammates, saying inappropriate comments in front of the entire company, and giving little to know information about the company and asking you to just trust him. He is brewing a strange cult following and everyone's expected to just bow down to anything he says. This job has made me feel so anxious, which is a huge bummer. I love my coworkers and the company seems so glamorous on the outside, but none of it is worth it.
