They hired me just to lay me off

Pros

I was laid off only months after being hired-so I couldn't tell you. I spent the months I did work for this company worried about my job security after the IPO was pulled.

Cons

Everything you read about this company in the news is accurate. Leadership and their direct reports make poor decisions-they also lie to your face and do not operate with integrity. I will be surprised if they even exist in a couple of years.

Busy, but best job in the world

Pros

A very rewarding job with a lot of autonomy and variety - I've been a Labs Manager for over a year and no day has been the same. It's like running your own startup, but with the benefits of having resources and a team to support you. HQ (both WeWork and WeWork Labs HQs) are very much enabling in your role rather than monitoring or restricting. There are good career (growth) opportunities and management has the right priorities when it comes to career coaching. Above all, the Labs team (both local and global) are some of the smartest people I've ever met and I've felt completely at home from day 1.

Cons

Since you have full ownership of your Lab, it is not uncommon to work long hours. This is not required or enforced by management or company culture, but it's something that happens regularly because there's simply so much to do.

Pros

Full time barista, lots of happy hours, very social

Cons

Leadership seems to be very sketchy, and is fairly selfish with their actions and priorities.
