WeWork Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

The people that you meet in your community teams what keeps you afloat and going in the company. It is with these friendships that you build that allows you to enjoy the space you’re in and and go through the fast paced always changing environment. And this is because you’re in it together. Working in a space that’s not your traditional office is great too.

Cons

There’s a lot of inconsistencies and communication from higher ups can be better. Work and life balance can be difficult to achieve as hours are long (8:30am-6pm). The sudden changes and stressors of work, the amount of workload can really affect your mental health and though you’re teams are accommodating to you taking a break, it is very important for the company as a whole to address this. As much as I enjoy the teams, the company as a whole can definitely do a lot more to improve employee experience and work/life balance. The company used to focus a lot on the community which feels lacking at the moment

Pros

flexible work and life balance

Cons

Need more transparency from management

Pros

its a role that gives you a lot of freedom you get to go on great company events like summer camp and summit. they are always throwing great parties

Cons

there are still a lot of teething problems that they are trying to work through which can be very frustrating. you dont get a lot of time off and the work life balance doesn't seem to exist

Pros

- Excellent pay - 24/7 access to all weworks worldwide (great for finding bathrooms in NYC) - Strong liberal values (off for juneteenth, celebration of minorities and women in tech) - $8 off of lunch - Great team / work environment - Great work/life balance (when people work past 9-5, sometimes they are even given a tsk tsk, other times you can tell the managers are quietly glad)

Cons

- Hectic. The effects of 2019 are still felt. - So much old code is just left there, and the people who wrote it were either fired or left. - Often feels very organized. Stuff, and people, are all over the place.

Pros

They are a very welcoming team. The company really emphasizes a good culture as well as person and professional development. They are also very respectful of work life balance!

Cons

It is a very large company, so there is a TON to learn and get up to speed on. However, they have an in depth training program you go through before you actually start working which alleviates much of this.

Pros

Wework is one of the most employee focussed companies that I have worked with and it was definitely a wonderful experience

Cons

Work life balance can take a hit sometimes especially for certain teams

Pros

I've worked with WeWork for over a year and I can honestly say that I've never felt more valued or experienced more growth in such a short span of time. The work culture is great, but it's definitely a lot of hard work. You really have to work to achieve a balance between your career and personal life. But the rewards are limitless.

Cons

You definitely have to work over-time occasionally

Pros

Culture - I've met the best people in my life at WeWork. Product - WeWork is an AMAZING product/ service. It's always better to love your job when you believe in the business. Best work life balance!

Cons

Growth Opportunities - After almost 4 years at WeWork, there was little room for my career growth.

Pros

Flexibility to work from home and office Ample leaves Work life balance is great - you are asked to switch off at 6 pm Your off days are well respected Many career opportunities within the company Young talent is given equal chance to prove their worth Higher education sponsorship if you are a great performer

Cons

Nepotism - there is a bias when it comes to selection specially when the talent knows someone in the leadership team.

Pros

The work/life balance is great

Cons

The promotion opportunities are not there
