If you want a company that nurtures the creativity of its employees and respects its readers, this isn't it.
Pros
Since the management structure is so thin -- as are all levels of the company -- you'll have plenty of chances to put your own ideas into practice (if you can find time to do so), since there are few managers from which you'll need approval. There are many, many talented people to work with -- but since everyone is working at 150% capacity, you'll not have much time to get much benefit from their smarts. The benefits package is flat-out astonishing; the fact that Future US is owned by a European company shows -- in Europe, health care is a right, not a privilege
Cons
The workload is crushing. Not that hard work is a bad thing, but the amount of output that management demands from each employee at Future US dulls creativity and quality. In point of fact, "quality" is not something that management cares about all that much. The general attitude that the Future US management has towards its readership is that readers are basically sheep that want -- or even need -- to be snowed by flashy, shallow coverage of trends and "shiny things." As a result, most Future US properties have become formulaic -- which is actually okay for the workers, since they're working so hard that they don't have the time or the mental energy to think of anything original.
