Pros
If you enjoy being mentally and emotionally abused, then this is the job for you! Pre-failed IPO days, the company offered a lot of great social benefits and competitive salaries.
Cons
Too many. WeWork is functionally disorganized. No one has any idea what is going on, none of the teams are in sync and some times end up doing the same exact work which will go unnoticed. Most of our days are about meetings instead of doing actual work, you will have meetings about the same topics for weeks and nothing moves. Most of the management is either incompetent and inexperienced, they compensate for their lack of skill and ability by having more meetings and by micromanaging their employees. Projects and timelines are constantly changing, no one seems to know what is actually going on. With the company changes, people are sitting around literally doing nothing and are assigned projects that will never materialize just to look busy. If you go to HR or management for any of these internal issues, prepare to be gaslighted. WeWork takes zero responsibility for any wrongdoing on their part. HR is completely biased and will do anything to protect the company and to avoid public lawsuits. Believe everything you read in the news about this, it's true. If you're looking for a work/life balance, you can forget it. WeWork expects you to work around the clock. No one respects each other's timezones/ deadlines, it makes for a non-cohesive working environment and creates distrust around teams. While this is an international company, no one takes anyone's working times into consideration when completing work and will send something way past due. Let's talk about respect. What WeWork is currently doing to its employees mentally and emotionally is absolutely unacceptable. For almost 2 months the company has been "transparently" letting employees know there will be layoffs but hasn't made any major ones as of yet. People are constantly sitting in fear that their job might not exist, they are miserable, they don't want to be there and are just sticking around to get their hopefully big severance check. They know employees are spending their days searching for new jobs, calling in "sick", taking vacation days all to look for new jobs but are turning the other way in hopes that people will quit instead.
