Interview
I've never used this site before but I did use it a lot during the application process for this role so I thought I'd share my experience too. I first heard about this role through a friend who suggested I apply online. The job description seemed perfect and I knew it was a "cool" company to work for so I applied. I heard back from the recruiter a few days later asking me to come for an interview which I was thrilled about. I emailed back with my availability and didn't hear back for over a week. During this time I was getting quite anxious and thought she'd forgotten about me... I emailed her to follow up and didn't get a response until another few days later. This all seemed pretty unorganised to me and I began to lose faith in the interview process a little. I decided to look online at the reviews for this role in London. To be honest, they aren't good and it did put me off even going further with the interview process. Anyway, I went along to meet the recruiter at one of the London We Work offices. The interview itself lasted about 45 minutes, they were really friendly and made me feel at ease. However here are my issues with the whole process....
- I asked how long the process was and they said it was another THREE stages after this and I would find out if I was successful at this stage in a week. I simply didn't have time to be waiting at home for another few weeks, maybe months, waiting to hear if I got through each round.
- The recruiter emphasised that the job is really stressful sometimes and they work late. I took this as a warning sign that working there would not give you a good work/life balance.
- The recruiter told me there is no HR team as the company is still a "start up"... this seemed crazy to me, they have thousands of people working for them all over the world so how do they call themselves a start up? And how can they function without an HR department? This rang warning bells in my head too... Big companies need an HR department.
- The reviews online for this role and others are really quite shocking from people who have worked there already. Someone even says "if I can stop one person from taking a job there from this post then I'll be happy". That's not good!
Anyway, I just wanted to share my views on the whole process as I know it would have been helpful for me to have seen before my interview. I have another role at a different company now and I'm very happy there :)
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at WeWork (Melbourne) in Apr 2026
Interview
first round was HR online call, then it was onsite about one hour. two managers interviewed me with about 15-20 questions, then 20mins chat with the front desk. It was chill but some questions were hard, but everyone was super nice
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at WeWork (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
1st stage is teams call discussing yourself, experience and why you want to work for wework. 2nd stage is panel interview, asking in more depth about experience, scenario questions etc. The last 30 minutes involved me sitting at the front desk. It was impossible to gauge what they wanted to see from me, even tho I asked a straight answer wasn’t given. I greeted members who walked in or passed and made conversation with members who stopped by. During the 30 minutes existing staff were chatting amongst themselves.
Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WeWork (Warsaw, Masovia) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process was longer and more formal than expected for a Front Desk Associate role. It involved several rounds, including a conversation with the Area Director, which felt excessive for an entry-level position. The timeline stretched over several weeks, and communication about next steps could have been clearer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They didn’t ask many in-depth questions during the in-person interview. It was mostly about being comfortable with handling back-office tasks, not always being at the front desk, and managing a large number of customers at the same time.
