Addendum: WeWork's general office conditions and amenities do compare favorably to those of early-stage companies (not to mention most random BigCorps), overall. (Again, it's the average of the great unwashed mass of companies I'm talking about, here -- not the Big 4, and certainly not whatever hot startup you've worked for recently where everything was way nicer, and the people way cooler than anywhere else).

But at the same time - if anyone's giving you free beer (as opposed to some other non-mind-altering amenity), there's always a reason for it.
