Pros

Working at SB, you know what you're in for each day. It's a very consistent place to work. Staff is generally happy--I woke up almost every day genuinely happy to start work. Most roles are flex/remote, which is great for people who have changes in life circumstances.

Cons

Zero opportunity for upward mobility. Most management has been promoted within. They aren't necessarily qualified, but SB rewards loyalty, so those in management stay. Great for them; not as great for bringing in fresh ideas or more qualified professionals.

You're right. Being a part of a big company means things don't always move super quickly. And with the volume of change at Future this year, it can be difficult to even know what the structure of this organisation looks like. It's something we're working on, and being able to express your thoughts on what isn't working is a big part of what helps us grow and improve. That having been said, a core principal of this company is taking chances on things you feel are the right move. If you feel like you're being limited in some way, it may be worth having that conversation with your immediate supervisor.
