The advantage of the WeWork system is the convenience of quickly getting office space on a monthly-basis without dealing with internet for as well for example. What I have noticed that they do not cater to remote workers small start ups any longer, instead they are renting out whole floors to fortune 500 companies. I agree with others, the meeting room system is a rip-off, which is why no one is using it and people are simply squatting in those rooms.
Overall it works for me after 2 years in three different locations, there are certainly a few issues:
- cooling (Miami) is either way too cold or not working at all and often comes with deafening noise
- their employees are often not trained well enough, presumably due to rapid expansion
- coffee is absolutely awful (maybe acceptable for American standards)
- annoying tech bros sponsored by their parents
- events that are geared towards the above (beer pong, really?)
- getting spammed by people who think networking means sending everyone unsolicited messages offering their services
- noise from people who apparently don't have to work and aggregate in the hallways instead
