Pros

- Connections with a lot of business owners and entrepreneurs - Opportunities to create your own projects - Smart branding / Looks good on CV

Kontras

- Overtime every week with mandatory meetings after 6PM, but no overtime pay. No one is getting paid for attending the mandatory Summer Camp from Thursday to Sunday. Right, because it's "for fun." - Employment benefits are below market standards - Inexperienced managers/directors can't make decisions - CULT: Colleagues don't dare to say what they think because they are supposed to be positive and happy all the...

You advocate the idea of 'Do What You Love' or 'Changing the World', but you are treating your staff like cult followers instead of employees. If you care about your employees, start paying overtime.

Pros

Ambitious colleagues and great atmosphere in the office

Kontras

long working days in the office

Pros

VERY cool HQ--beer, fruit water, and other treats on tap, free breakfast, amazing decor, lots of events and cool trendy vendors who bring free stuff--if you like to humblebrag via Insta, you'll love this place. Some cool people --celebrities come in and out, your colleagues are generally very attractive folks, there's a sense of excitement and true commitment to the work (borderline evangelism) depending on who you...

This place is like drinking from one continuous Kool-Aid jug. VERY cult-y and cliquey. You are either in or you're out, and if you're out, rather than cut you loose right away, they gaslight you. It's actually kind of shocking how many people I've seen be treated so poorly here, and perhaps no coincidence that they were folks of color. Kind of hard to find the down to earth people I did find. I enjoyed the Community...

Honestly, whatever you can do to create more authenticity in people, in the feel of the company, do it. Create meaning and purpose for everyone--help them see how what they do actually matters. And maybe actually institute meaningful performance management measures.

Pros

Great mission. Inspiring leadership. Socially conscious organization. Lots of incredible challenges to solve. You're working on a product that you use, and talk to customers every single day. Collaborative culture.

Kontras

This is a crazy startup, so you need to be comfortable with change and rapid iteration. Benefits could be better.

Pros

cool and nice place to work

Kontras

little work pressure, but good

Pros

"Culture" is okay. Decent pay, plenty of time off, lots of events and other fun perks.

Kontras

If you're a person of color though they fully expect you to be minimal in your expectation or the addressing of equity. Despite their growth, they're happy to leave you at a middling building with almost no support for as long as it serves their purposes. No amount of performance, effort, work, discussion, or other will affect that. Can't shake the feeling of deceit after hearing how the owner talks a great game...

Be inclusive in a more genuine way other than a space "of Color." Your hiring practices matter, your words and actions matter.

Pros

You get the benefits of being at a large company while working in a startup-like tech environment. All of WeWork's technology infrastructure is being build from the ground up, so there's never of shortage of interesting and impactful projects to work on. The culture within technology itself is very fast-paced and open, and everyone is extremely helpful and willing to get to know you.

Kontras

The larger company itself is a bit culty and I don't fully align with all of WeWork's initiatives sometimes. The culture can feel a bit pretentious and "fake woke" at times, if you know what I mean.
