Pros

I can't speak for community jobs but I work in tech for WeWork. No clue why the company has gotten such lukewarm reviews -- I saw this as I went through the interview process but my experience thus far has been nothing but extraordinary. Pros would definitely be the work atmosphere, free coffee / snacks, regular events paid by the company, awesome lounge areas, and coworkers that, for the most part, are excited about the company and what it does for employees. The most immense benefit of working here however is the endless networking opportunity. WeWork is home to thousands of companies, so you'll meet people from every realm of business. It is an opportunity to make connections with people of different backgrounds, learn, and grow as a person. That, to me, is huge. Benefits package is good, ~3 weeks paid days off and a lenient sick day policy. Two big trips per year and they seem like a ton of fun from what I've heard (haven't been yet).

Cons

Working hours, especially for community workers, can be long. I work in tech for the company and my hours are 9-6, but I regularly see the community team working outside those boundaries. I can understand that complaint. Truthfully, my days fly by and I feel quite accomplished by the end of the day. One other complaint I saw was compensation, but I have a hard time relating to that as in my experience my salary was competitive even as a relatively new member of the workforce (I graduated college last year). The company definitely has a strong culture. Some may be put off by the "cult vibe" but to me it is simply a driven company with clear values and a mission. One other thing I would say -- no 401k contribution as of yet, but they're "working on it".

Pros

I was attracted to WeWork having worked in two locations at my previous role. The basis for my interest in the company was the excitement and passion that was generated by the WeWork team in my building and I thought it could be something brilliant to be a part of. Before my interview I, as part of my research jumped onto Glassdoor to check out the company review and look for pointers on salary. A significant portion of these reviews were negative - raising alarms about culture, low salary and poor work/life balance. ALARM bells were ringing. Despite this, I attended my first interview, and a few subsequent interviews and now I work here and I ADORE it. I studied the WeWork values and mission and it truly is evident in practice. If you're looking for job satisfaction and the chance to be a part of something bigger than yourself and part of a community of passionate creators - think about it!! Pros: competitive salary, free breakfast, free coffee made by barista, tea, fruit, nap room, fully paid company trips (x 2 a year), passionate and intelligent people, constant asking of feedback from management, great IT set up with Macbook air etc. Lots of emphasis of training, development and progression through company. People are genuinely happy to work here which shocked me!

Cons

To be honest - not a job for someone who wants to work 9-5 and do the bare minimum. You have to want to work hard, progress, be ambitious, be excited about the mission.

Pros

Great pay and benefits, challenging work, opportunities for growth, beautiful office, talented co workers, great management, much money spent on employees, many events, great technology and hardware, endless sick days, a lot of vacation days, equity!

Cons

The company is young so you will be the founder of many work processes, which is both good and bad
