Pros

Overall people are generally happy and the work is challenging. The cultural is laid-back and the offices are beautiful. The unit economic looks bright as 90% of the buildings are profitable. This can be a very profitable business in the long run. WeWork has a brand new leadership team and they seems to be capable of turning the ship around to write an amaizing comeback story.

Cons

Leadership team was pretty immature and I am glad they are all gone. The mass layoff was painful but necessary as the spending went out of control under Adam and his close friends. Media had been unfair at times and only covered the negatives.

Pros

The work culture was wonderful, attire was flexible, was even able to work remotely when needed. Colleagues were great, we got along splendidly. The office space itself looked amazing with large windows and an open concept.

Cons

Would've appreciated more transparency, especially when it came to job security. There seemed to be a bias when the company was restructuring. They keep the people they want and not their best performers. There are times when suggestions are not entertained because they prefer their way of things which can be rigid and affects work performance.

Pros

A) Great people - Smart, ambitious, friendly. B) Interesting business model. C) TBD Unfortunately, many pros (work flexibility, benefits, etc.) are currently TBD during restructuring.

Cons

A) organizationally very immature. B) Still figuring out basic stuff like resource tracking and billing. C) Many middle and upper managers Are inexperienced both as managers and in the business. D) Lack of transparency. E) Constant, seemingly non-strategic change. I know this is typical for startups, but here it feels ad hoc and short sighted. The new leadership does seem to be working on it.
