Great business that's on the up

Pros

Like most media companies, Future's been through some difficult times. But the current management, strategy and vision is delivering fantastic growth. Equally important is the work that's been done to improve the working culture, office environments and, crucially, communication, which has been transformed in the last 12 months. Naturally it's a fast-paced place to work, and can sometimes be long hours, but it offers good benefits, including a chance for all employees to share in the profits when the business hits targets.

Cons

The offices are all in lovely locations, but that also means they're often very expensive places to live.
