Pros

There are no pros for this company, look elsewhere. Run far away from anything Future has to offer. This company has no Future.

Cons

Below average wages Virtually no culture or positivity when it comes to feedback Promotions and wage negotiations are non existent Management do not value you or even bother to listen to you, you’re a robot only there to execute their ideas. They don’t want your advice or intelligence so basically ‘shut up and do what you’re told’ Being spoken to like a child or as if you know nothing about the role you were hired for even though you have over 10 years experience in your field of expertise Management think they know everything and that they’re up to date with technology and current cultural issues but they have no idea. They’re trying to sell a young cool brand, but the way they work is so old school and embarrassing. Accepting a job with future will be a miserable time and you’ll be burnt out and jaded before your probation is even over. There strategy is to just keep buying companies so you’ll always be hearing about acquisitions and how “lucky” you are to be working for such a large “incredible company” Onboarding is non existent and painful. There’s no hangovers, your just dropped in the deep end and forced to either sink or swim Everything will be blamed on you, management hold no accountability. Management will fixate on the smallest of mistakes, which takes their attention away from the bigger picture leading to a lot of projects turning into absolute messes that you just flounder you’re way through. There’s no structure or professionalism with managements communication styles and skills. Management need lessons on how to talk to and treat their staff.

Pros

They were flexible during the pandemic

Cons

Extremely fast paced, below market pay, extremely long working hours, no support from management. The company is only focused on their bottom line, and rarely recognise or promote staff. Always an acquisition going on, so you never know if your role is safe, or if you are going to be put through the redundancy process again.

Pros

All day-to-day peers are talented legends

Cons

Terrible salaries unless senior management. Absolutely no career progression. Absolutely no care for diligent staff. Utterly impotent management right up to (almost) the very top of the pile. People & Culture department completely useless.
