They seriously had forced summer camps? WTF?


On mobile but look up their reviews in Glassdoor or indeed. All reviews are suspect individually but there is definitely quite a pattern.

Forced summer camp, nepotism, back stabbing politics, etc. Sounds like a hellish place to work.


it's not uncommon with hypey vc funded startups. I've gone to two different startup camps, it's very much so kool-aid drinking exercises


Note that in WeWork’s case it was not a “startup camp” like you mention, but an actual honest to God employee summer camp with mandatory attendance. Like a camp at a lake with archery & campfire stories, except everything is whitewashed with corporate retreat brainwashing.
