Pros

coffee is great pets running everywhere access to all wework buildings (this one I definitely miss a lot)

Cons

apart from all the chaos that started after the former CEO stepped down, there were a lot of issues I came across here. everyone seemed to have a huge ego and always tried to question your project to make themselves look smart...to get anything move forward is a huge pain. roadmaps and priorities kept changing all the time and they would tell you, change is the theme of wework baby. from what I have seen, people who were running around and working on vague projects got the promotions. so when the collapse happened, I was actually happy because then I had a legit reason to start looking. Overall, it was pretty disappointing.

Pros

High pay, great benefits and company perks, flexible working schedule, working from home allowed (within reason), no micromanagement, coffee bar all day!

Cons

Few successful processes/systems in place, disorganized/no structure, no one ever knows what's going on, lack of proper (qualified) management, independent working style/not much collaboration (you generally work alone in your discipline), overall office environment feels very "every man for himself", little room to grow as opposed to what they have you believe/sell you, difficult to receive a raise, lack of in-person communication (discussions, of all types, mostly occur via Slack)
