My job paid for an office for me in one for a while, though I only went there once or twice. I recall it being like any other corporate office, free coffee and undrinkably hoppy beer, uncomfortable couches and irritating Starbucks singer-songwriter muzak playing in the common area aside. Also I have visited prisons with fewer security checks.

My wife had an office in eOffices which is basically WeWork but local and profitable. They charged more for the extras and turned a profit as a consequence.

They also owned their real estate.

And nobody thinks they're worth $80b.
