Contacted by a recruiter to do a 30 minute interview. I was told there are a total of 4 interviews - 1 with the recruiter, 1 with another community manager, 1 with an area director and 1 with the person I would be reporting to… I ended up having 5 interviews over the course of about a month, which is incredibly long. My 2nd interview was awkward. The person’s kid was running around in the background - super distracting - and questions were not clear. I finally had to ask on my 3rd interview about salary because the recruiter never addressed that. Come to find out, after my 3rd interview, it’s $10K less than what I’m currently making but is “negotiable “. With that in mind, I accept interview #4, which is almost 1.5 hours long. After not hearing a thing for over a week (after my last interview), I am asked to visit a property and do a tour (there was no interview, literally a tour) - another hour of time. I reach out to find out next steps and am advised the director is STILL conducting interviews and they’ll be in touch with me. I received my rejection letter today. I already received a promotion with my current company, making $20K more than what WeWork is offering, plus bonus… but I’m kind of floored by the whole process. Honestly, why did they call me in to waste my time touring a property? If my salary expectations were too high, just tell me - and for the love of everything DON’T WASTE MY TIME. If you didn’t think I was the right fit, don’t call me in to tour your property and WASTE MY TIME. WeWork wants to be this progressive company… but they’ve got a long way to go towards progress. Should’ve paid attention to their reviews from current/former employees. I would have known to avoid even entertaining the idea of working for them. If they don’t respect your time during the interview, they won’t respect your time if you go to work for them!
