Future Associate Editor reviews

- Very hard driving. It's all about driving success to shareholders at any cost - It feels more like working for corporate America than a British publisher is useful to know - Sudden restructures and layoffs are rife, it's like it's part of the company strategy - Some good people but it's a weary environment where no one seems to be having a nice time in their job at all -Lots of stress and burnout -Lack of new employee onboarding: I think I was straight into the CMS first day. Never received much company support overall but expected to continuously hit targets. - Rather than hire new people, they often pull existing staff onto other projects without warning - Lack of employee care in general such as progression, learning and development - Can be pulled up for taking too much holiday time when it's within normal boundaries - Salaries vary but some are nowhere near enough to cover the impact this business can have on your mental health. It acts like a U.S company but it doesn't pay like one. - You are not a human being at Future, you're a number on a spreadsheet churning out "success" - but it doesn't matter how you perform. Numbers get cut. Rinse, repeat.

Not many cons. Just need to know what you want out of the job and forge your own path.
