I worked out of a great coworking space in Wellington, New Zealand. It was great! - it was cheap - they had a great coffee machine, and a barista came in every week to teach us Latte Art! - It had a great atmosphere, with a real "team" sense, even if none of us worked together - (+ good wifi, quiet areas, all that important stuff)

Yes.

I never have but I find myself working best around other motivated people. For me the biggest barrier has just been paying for it.

oooh yes!! great experience. I have worked at Wework, great space for networking. In my case it worked very well, but sometimes the meetings were complicated, a lot of noise around. Currently, I work from home, and it works much better.

Worked from a coworking space, but didn't particularly enjoy it. I find that it is similar to working at a cafe and I prefer the latter.

Oh yes, I am currently working in a coworking space. I believe joining a coworking space means pursuing a new opportunity and participating in a community of business professionals. You get more networking opportunities, a boost in creativity, Collaboration opportunities, and most importantly greater flexibility.

@vaibhav_taneja Have you seen that most people there are willing to stop and chat/network a bit?

Not only did I work out of one, but I also co-owned and operated one. I loved the community; connecting with other passionate people, helping solve problems, and finding new connections - it was incredibly rewarding and inspiring!

@shaunnestor This is super interesting! What made you stop the operations side of things?

@ryangilbert We had one location and plans to expand into two new ones. The first one was sold to fund the new two, but then the developer went bankrupt in the middle of construction. :(

Yes, my sister is even operating one in Vienna and unofficially I am part of the team :)

Have worked out of a few coworking spaces. I liked being around other people - it forced me to be more productive. Sometimes it would get loud but not enough for it to bother me! I've also worked in cafes which can be cheaper :) (in Rome, Italy prices can go from 25 a day)

If your team is small or you are working remote and want to come out of working from home. Co-working space is a really great option to work around and connect with other motivated individuals.
