Pros

Pipeline of projects is huge. Opportunity to move very quickly into senior roles and manage more people. Salaries slightly above industry average.

Cons

Recent quality of hires has been very low. Many inexperienced people coming from low tier companies or unrelated industries. No 401k match or retirement benefits. Stock options no longer offered to new hires.

Pros

If you like a mission Driven company that allows you to be autonomous, entrepreneurial, and inspired then this is the perfect place to be. WeWork has allowed me and our team to develop processes to help grow our local members and community. The transparency of the team and the integration of our corporate team is close to none. It is extremely easy to contact figure heads to get answers and solutions, and when are is not one you are empowered to be apart of creating solutions. Our company is very diverse. Being an African american man in a leadership position is empowering, as well as honored as WeWork values different backgrounds and experiences. My 2 years at WeWork has truly been great and has empowered me to work to create things greater than myself. Previously working for Apple and Nike afforded me the opportunity to be apart of companies that have a great brand. But WeWork is much more than that. I have referred tons of colleagues who joined WeWork and have loved it as well. If you are looking to grow, and help growth then WeWork is a great place to be.

Cons

What ever Cons I bring up would eventually turn into opportunities to grow. Example would be development of more processes as we are a new company. In learning more about this what I have suggested for solutions for these have been implemented! So I see any issues we have experienced as a change to express and develop what the solution could be. Our leadership teams have been extremely receptive.

Going places, albeit with some growing pains

Pros

Growth Potential -- Just scratching the surface on its mission (rethinking how people work/live) with a massive potential market size (global real estate); Incubating business lines like Enterprise, Powered by We, etc. starting to gain significant traction Great Product -- Lots of demand for the underlying product / service. Unit economics are actually profitable. Coworkers -- Some of the most down-to-earth, inspiring people will be by your side; Employees form genuine friendships in and out of the workplace; Awesome global events bring people from all of the world together twice a year. High Upside -- Rockstar employees have the ability to work on interesting, high-impact projects and get promoted to leadership positions early in their career. Forward Thinking / Agile -- The company isn't afraid to try new things. While that often results in some growing pains, it's refreshing to be at a company that is constantly trying to evolve rather than become stagnant.

Cons

Change is Constant -- If you're coming from a more established organization, this can take some getting used to. High growth = change. The best advice would be to lean in to your own personal development, seek out mentors within the company, actively explore new areas of growth and opportunity. Constantly evolving as an employee can be exhausting but rewarding if approached right. Somewhat Political -- Some nepotism still exists, though this has been improving in recent years.
