We operate a business out of our home and when we do interviews, we need a private, quiet place to do so. WeWork to the rescue! The space is perfect. Super private office space to conduct interviews ... and a staff that is friendly and helpful. We gave them a list of people we were interviewing and they checked them in and sent us a text and email when each person arrived. Our day could not have been more pleasant or have gone more smoothly. Absolutely 5-stars.
This is nice office at first glance, but I've come to abhor it. The vibe in the common area is nice with great coffee and free beer. The problem is actually working. I have two chief complaints:
1) Noise - If you have to make frequent phone calls the space is incredibly loud with lots of echo. The hardwood floors and concrete ceilings look stylish, but are completely impractical for any noise reduction.
2) Privacy - If you are working on any sort of confidential information the offices are all glass walled. The conference rooms all have large TV screens that are visible from outside the room. There is no way to give a confidential presentation in one of the conference rooms. Also audio privacy is compromised by the echo of the facility. I walked by a phone booth and could hear very clearly what was being discussed.
This office is so loud I find myself scheduling calls to occur when I'm in the car or at home. It looks great and feels nice, but after you get past the first impressions it's terrible.
This was an excellent place to host a weekend long workshop with a remote team. If I lived in Austin, I would love to work out of this office. They always had coffee and refreshing fruit water. They had options to eat if you didn't want to venture out. Great facility.
Super Loud Everywhere! Including the conference rooms and leg-cramming phone booths, if you're lucky to even get one. Can't catch a quiet moment anywhere, even the bathrooms blast ridiculously loud music! I have the most expensive noise cancelling headsets money can buy, and they don’t reduce the noise sufficiently to do quality work, especially with the hardwood floors, crowds of people talking, and glass walls! Work from a coffee shop or bar, the ambience is the same, but the prices, beer, and coffee are much better. Better yet, work from home or get a real office.
