Pros

Working at WeWork helped to restore my confidence in myself as a professional. I collaborate with with employees from different departments, at all levels, and am treated well, listened to and respected. That is certainly not the case for most companies I've worked for. There's an optimistic and exciting energy in the workplace that is contagious. The hours can be long, but the day goes by super fast, and when you believe in the concept, it's worth the hard work.

Cons

Rigorous, often chaotic as the company is growing fast. There have certainly been some growing pains.

Pros

There is a playful working environment and WeWork members are very nice overall and one can learn a lot about different kind of businesses and the strategies behind them.

Cons

There is a lack of real management, and there is a non-stop understaff problem. Therefore most of the systems don't properly work and due to the worldwide time differences they make you work around the clock, without any (financial) incentive/compensation. They fire people on the spot at 8pm while they were still working!!! As if they have stolen stuff or something, most definitely they did not receive a 'warning'. If only they would threat the employees the same way as they hug their concept and their members it would be a relative nice place to work. However, they don't and not a week went by or someone burst into crying because of the pressure, stress, and lack of support. Moreover, they don't care about the safety of their employees. There is a high level management guy of which it is known that he harasses young ladies, he tried it with me but a co-worker warned me for him and helped me to 'politely' leave his sphere of influence. Apparently he does this on numerous occasions, but WeWork decides to let hard working people go instead of a high level management guy who is harmful for the safety of its employees. So, unless you want to be in a non-stop bubble with some serious effects to your health I would think again, or at least read Dave Eggers with his book The Circle to get an idea of what it is like.
