Pros

Free breakfast, flexible working, good salaries, access to global prime real estate, events, networking

Cons

UNCERTAINTY! People get sacked over night, their account gets shut, someone clear their desk, ruthless American corporate culture laying beneath the fluff of free beer and food

Strong core business, bad leadership

Pros

Overall, it's been exciting and unique to work in a fast-moving environment for a company that's exponentially growing. To allow for that growth, day to day operations are organized in a flat structure, allowing for most teams to move quickly and autonomously.

Cons

Reckless and undisciplined leadership have made bad decisions that have detracted from the core business.

Pros

none. do yourself a favor and do not ever work at WeWork

Cons

- wework does not live up to their values - no work/life balance - even when you call out sick, people will still slack/call you. no one cares - worked 12-15 hours a day, everyday, and every holiday like it was expected - paid poverty level for the amount of hours I put in - inadequate management, had a manager who would ping me at 9pm to do something for them. - tend to promote unqualified people to higher positions - toxic work environment, it was like being in high school again, no thank you - very manual processes, new suggestions always rejected because " no bandwidth" - everything I was told/promised at the interview, never received - higher ups do play favorites here - mental health declined
