Pros

Talented, passionate, collaborative colleagues across editorial teams

Cons

Senior management communications atrocious prior to, throughout and post acquisition; unrealistic expectations on impact of acquisition and redundancies; redundancy process abysmal - no respect for brand's past nor the contribution of the editorial team; not enough consultation on role and responsibility changes; under-appreciated from start to finish; gimmicky values, full of clichés that don't mean anything.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We recognise that an acquisition process can be a very turbulent time. Acquisitions is a large part of our business strategy, as such we really welcome your feedback in terms or improving this in the future, please feel free to send this to peopleandculture@futurenet.com. We are actively trying to improve our Company communications, in fact we are in the process of appointing a Communications Manager who will lead the evolution of this.
