Pros

One of the things that really stands out here is the culture, they have it in abundance. Beer Fridays, summer local retreats, good vacation, pension & benefits. The WeWork office in London has spectacular views of St Katherines dock and the Tower of London. Also they have a great approach with moving staff around if you are good, you can change career track or even location if the job warrants it.

Cons

If you are in Sales then be aware that the comp/bonus/targets are changed quarterly and usually not in your favour. You are also expected to only do deals above a certain threshold, anything else needs to be passed to the commercial AE's. If you are in Marketing you are generally ok as the team is the size of a U.N. peacekeeping force, results can vary though. The company's results vary from quarter to quarter, and if it's a bad quarter then expect headcount freeze or even layoff's to balance the books. If it's a good quarter then enjoy the party as it doesn't happen often. There is continuous restructuring every quarter so expect some turmoil while some senior management try to save their own jobs. Salaries are not competitive unless you know someone high up in which case they will pay whatever it takes to bring you in. The office will probably be changed later this year as the full cost of having the WeWork office vs the EMEA revenue will be re-balanced. There is also some infighting within the sales teams as each leader tries to grab territory to hit his or her number, lack of decision making from higher up only adds to the issues faced by AE's. If you are pregnant, I pray for you. The company doesn't deal with pregnancy very well and prepare to even lose your job after with a pay off.

Pros

Good place to start your career. Spend some time at Hootsuite and then move on with a well known brand on your CV. But continue reading before signing the contract :-)

Cons

This company is toxic. They put people under sick pressure to make the numbers. Customers are running away. Marketing is lying - only 10% of the 18mio users are active. All the rest are dead accounts
