WeWork reviews

Crippled by bureaucracy Management seemed far more concerned with protecting themselves and their jobs and making stakeholders / upper mgmt happy than ensuring their engineers were informed and able to produce quality output Caught between too many hands in a codebase and not enough actual engineering output - simple things were often made unnecessarily complex, and complex things often dealt with with oversimplified, inefficient solutions Absolutely zero effective communication from higher ups on the repeated layoff cycles, and no real effort to curb the cataclysmic decline in morale. It was like a morgue from the IPO failure to the moment i left. Equity worth effectively nothing. Extremely cult-y and wants you to treat the company like a family, while the company itself treats you like a highly disposable metric. For the past six months it has been a regular cycle of new upper management coming in, doing nothing, then leaving with a massive severance package.

Party culture, work /life balance struggle, lack of diversity
