I wouldn't

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The spaces are gorgeous and high energy, the company is very successful

Cons

I wouldn't recommend my friends working here. There is more chaos, mis-alignment, and arbitrary decision-making thank in any company I've worked for. Everyone is running around reacting to something someone levels above them arbitrarily decided moments ago. There's no strategic plan and employees are treated like disposable products - it's all about the next big thing and not about being mature and calmly forward thinking. It's too disruptive and disheartening to work here for people who meaningfully want to contribute and want to feel valued. It's all about what arbitrary thing the CEO says on any given day and the management team just scrambles to make it happen - doesn't feel sustainable. So weird to watch and be a part of.

Overburdened, undervalued employees but good experience to build resume

Community manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Experience working at one of the fastest growing companies in the world- exposure to a lot of inside information on how companies like this work. Potential for promotions and development (but little to no training).

Cons

You will learn a lot but that's because they expect one person to do the job of multiple people - be a sales rep, operations manager, HR/personnel manager, event coordinator, and customer service expert all-in-one. You will work long (10-12) hours/day without a substantial break and the overall culture encourages the idea that if you feel tired or overworked then you're clearly not up for the challenge. Cult-like from the top level of management down. Adam Neumann thinks he's the next Steve Jobs and the team that surrounds him (that refer to themselves as the Oval Office) encourage him. Miguel Mckelvey is the real soul behind the company and his vision/passion for members is one of the only reasons I stayed for two years.
