Pros

Fringe benefits, such as health insurance, paid foreign language classes and other learning opportunities

Cons

When I was there, there were no clear career progression baselines, and several sectors were affected by the company's change of business model to the extent that, on the one hand, bonuses were paid. People were promoted without a more precise and shared sense of targets to achieve. Conversely, on the other hand, when the crisis consumed the company, massive layoffs were made without an anticipated and more evident consensus about that rather than 'top-down changes'.

Pros

There are absolutely no pros.

Cons

Utterly terrible. Management is incompetent and lacks leadership and communication skills, a clear failing of the extensive training they supposedly undergo to achieve this position. Inconsistent and contradictory teachings, lacking structure and knowledge. They will delegate pointless and time-wasting tasks with no clear direction or outcome just to abuse their power. They offer no training or support to new starters and consistently point out shortcomings having never actually shown you proper guidance in your role. Despite receiving great member feedback, they will never value or acknowledge your wins making you feel under-appreciated. Colleagues are petty, power-happy and have a holier-than-thou attitude. They will deliberately sabotage you to make themselves look better and are unnecessarily competitive. There is no culture of helping each other excel and no joy in seeing others succeed. There is an overwhelming sense of vindictive, passive-aggressive behaviour leading to micro-management despite having no authority to do so or official management training. HR is tragic too, hosting a very childish "he said/she said" mentality, no one looks at the clearly presented facts. They are illogical and immature, completely ignoring standard procedure. HR lacks compassion and shows a total disregard for your personal well-being and safety. This cultivates bullying and harassing behaviour with no consequences because HR is completely useless. There is no sense of community, trust or teamwork. It’s everyone for themselves. WeWork is full of narcissistic, delusional, hypocrites. None of the so-called "values" are implemented in any way. This culture is hypocritical and deceitful. You are fed lies during the interview stages and onboarding, none of the promises are honoured down the line. There is no work-life balance, once you sign the contract, it seems WeWork owns you and your time. You are just another cog in this trainwreck of a machine. This is a very clicky company and is not a place you can grow. There is a reason the staff turnover in this company is so high. If you value your mental health, don't bother working here.
