Ah, WeWork. A company I worked at was very large, but decided to cosplay as a lean mean agile startup in order to recruit programmers with a friendly "how do you do, fellow young people". To that end they rented an entire floor of a WeWork. Place was a noisy, open-plan zoo, and the shiny-happy-people WeWork energy seeping in made it even more difficult to focus and get anything done. Free espresso drinks were nice, but I would much rather have forgone those and worked in a cubicle in the company's stodgy, regular office a block away. Thankfully, COVID shifted their WFH policy and not only could I WFH, they cancelled their WeWork lease.
