Pros

The company is pre-IPO and growing like mad so could be work quite a lot someday.

Cons

They no longer offer any form of equity, even at a senior level. No stock grants, no options, nothing. It’s already worth $21B, the founders themselves worth $4B between them. They’re not the sharpest tools in the shed. They just hustled and got very lucky.

Pros

Decent work culture, lots of food around, get to meet a lot of different people

Cons

You're expected to do the work load of 3 people, low pay, one co-founder definitely has a "god complex". As an employer WeWork is a joke. As a business WeWork is genius.

Pros

Fantastic colleagues who are great listeners, who want to learn, who want to hone their craft. This is a good place to start our and get a better understanding of what you want from your career. Gain exposure to a range of disciplines and industries under one roof. Good health / dental / vision benefits. Flexible sick days. WeWork locations all over the world. You DO feel like you're part of a global effort to create a community. Members are grateful and appreciate the hard work.

Cons

No transparency throughout the entire WeWork organization. There is no protocol to receive or request performance reviews, promotions, or be considered for a raise. There is no such thing as advancement or vertical movement in a company that does not give employees a feeling of security (beyond a paper card to fill out their short and long term goals). They will switch your immediate manager, team and title with no notice. It is a typical occurrence to have your day-to-day workflow suddenly upended by high-level layoffs and resignations. There are very few women at the executive level, except in assistant / coordinator (aka administration) positions. Male managers favor their friends and family. They treat them as such. I'm not surprised to see this come up in several other reviews. HR will not answer your emails for weeks, and when they do, they are dismissive and short. You are asked to work weekends, and travel on short notice. This is many of your colleagues first job and their lack of experience falls on 'few' rather than 'all', often leading to an inconsistent or sub-par final product.
