"Plenty of big companies are now tenants with their own floors or wings in WeWork: Microsoft, IBM, GE, Spotify, Bank of America, NBC Left Field, a fledgling unit of the network aimed at cord-cutting millennials." I personally find this trend problematic. Getting in to WeWork is not a challenging task. ONLY requirement is that you are able to pay your daily/weekly/monthly dues. If all of this is being done by large corps. for PR purposes than I can understand the whole "connect to Millennials bandwagon aspect". But of it is being done to actually hire "good" talent then I am not sure if it is always guaranteed that 3 out of 20 WeWork-ers are more than "good" coders. For me WeWork is like that coffee shop that never closes, there is always a table available for the coder in you and you have to paya premium price for average coffee.
