DISADVANTAGES OF CO-WORKING

■ Less privacy. If you’re a bigger corporation, or you work on

undisclosed projects or with sensitive user data, you obviously can’t

have strangers wandering around the place, peeking at screens, and

leafing through printouts at the copy machine. Coworking spaces are

community-driven social hubs that thrive on collaboration, but this

may mean less privacy for those who work there.

■ No branding. Many coworking spaces won’t allow branding or

company logos to be displayed around a shared office, so if you want

to make a good first impression on new clients or potential hires,

your options are limited.
