Description

WeWork is a company that provides flexible shared workspaces for technology startups and services for other enterprises. Founded in 2010, it has become synonymous with the concept of coworking spaces, offering a range of office solutions that cater to freelancers, small businesses, and large corporations alike. WeWork’s spaces are designed to foster a sense of community and collaboration among its members, featuring modern, well-equipped environments with amenities such as high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and communal lounges.WeWork's business model is built on renting large commercial real estate spaces, transforming them into creative, functional office spaces, and then renting them out to individuals and companies. This helps reduce the traditional costs and challenges associated with finding and maintaining office space. Additionally, WeWork frequently organizes networking events, workshops, and talks to enhance the professional and social lives of its members.

"Nice Locations and Easy App"

4/5

What do you like best about WeWork?

The design of the locations, IT facilities, flexibility and availability of the locations around the world. In some cases and some locations are great on the events and promotions they bring to their users. That's a key if they want to differentiate from other coworking businesses.

Thinks I like: Customer Support, Ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeWork?

Some times the place is crowded in the All Access floors and again, they don't seem to control very well the visitors entrances or exit so other uses abuse the system and let other visitors to use the facilities as if they were members without charging credits or paying fines.

Thinks I don't like: Low control on invitees taking advantage on the meetings reservations perk to have all day access to WeWork offices. Kind of a fenomena I see in many locations in Colombia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeWork:

Look out for the promotions and evaluate if it is the right fit for your team, the service is not cheap but will depend on the budget and quality you expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

In Colombia in particular as an All Access User I see a lot of other users abusing of their membership to enter visitors for al day. Neeed to improve and control vetter the visitors entrance and stay on the sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really terrible policy about changing existing reservations"

1.5/5

What do you like best about WeWork?

Flexibility booking a desk and having phone booths to work in. I also like their cold brew coffee on tap and the number of spaces they have in New York City. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeWork?

The cutomer service is very hit or miss--I like them in person, but online they're really terrible. Again, I hate their policy not allowing changes to reservations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeWork:

If you need to use them, they're adequate, but don't expect much if you have trouble with their booking systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

WeWork has been fine regarding getting a space in an office last minute, but they have a terrible policy if you end up booking the wrong day--even after misclicking, there's no recourse to adjust the booking you made. The customer service has also been really unhelpful and just hung up on me mid-sentence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Open space, great tech, super clean"

4.5/5

What do you like best about WeWork?

I love the friendly staff and how clear it is that they care about the space and make it a clean and welcoming environment for the companies that rent the space out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeWork?

It would be nice if there was a communal table for lunch so that people can get together with people who they might not know to get something to eat together and chat! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeWork:

Make sure to take advantage of the kitchen, and grab some free snacks while you work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

WeWork in New York is so clean and has monitors on every desk, the open floor plan lends itself to a collaborative environment and the tall ceilings keep you from feeling pent up. The kitchen area is frequently tended to thought-out the day and is never dirty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good option for needed meeting space"

4/5

Describe the project or task WeWork helped with:

Use flex meeting rooms for various meetings throughout the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WeWork?

The ability to book and use meeting rooms as needed. With the monthly membership, it is nice to be able to have a professional and tech equipped space for needed in person meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeWork?

The person with the membership (and card) needs to be present. For a company that needs meeting spaces for many employees, this can be a hassel. It would be great if all employees are covered under the membership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a remote company, flex meeting space is a much needed item. WeWork has been a good solution for the occasional needed in person meeting with other employees and clients as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Worst share office I've been"

0/5

What do you like best about WeWork?

The fact that we can meet other people from other companies, expanding the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeWork?

The system of wework and the staffs there is not necessary the best, because they lack of understanding of their members, mostly when they say something and they would deny it themselves when they don't like to. When problems occurs, they are not really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wework in THAILAND is a joke/terrible"

0/5

Describe the project or task WeWork helped with:

First, they say they return your full deposit but don't pay for the wire fees so you don't get your entire deposit back.

Second, hit you with late charges without prior notice.

Clear that they are nickeling and diming you to get as much money as possible.

We terminated our agreement after one year and moving somewhere else.

They will prob delete this post, will be posting on various other sites as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
