Vantaggi
They moved office about 4 times. If you like moving a lot you might value this. To me, this was a clumsy run business with no real direction.
Svantaggi
Incapable managers have no clue what they are doing in this business. I was promised big things by joining WeWork. I took the job based on the potential upside promised to me in the interview stage. This was a bluff to try get people to join WeWork knowing how bad its reputation is around the world. You would think WeWork would push for employees to work in shared office spaces they had. Instead, the culture pushed for people to work from home for 3/4 days a week. This doesn't sound right, does it? A shared office space company with barley any employees in the office took me by surprise at first but then I released that they pushed for no one to be in the spaces so they could sell those spaces. This reflects back on the cost-cutting WeWork has most recently done to try to retrieve some of the billions it lost over the last few years. The above is a great example of putting customers before employees to save money. Things only got worst. Without naming anyone, my manager and his manager within the Comp team in London had zero leadership skills. My manager would struggle to communicate within the team he managed and would be so scrambled with the workload that he would be unable to delegate the tasks to the employees. To my manager's credit, I believe he was put under immense pressure by his manager. His manager also lacked the necessary leadership skills that you would find in someone of that level. Within our team specifically, he would set a poor example of attendants coming into the office. In some instances, it would go 2/3 weeks before you saw him. This gave other employees the incentive to stay at home. I believe a strong team is working together in the shared office spaces that they are trying to sell to customers. It's a poor example for the business and each individual employee.
