Thanks so much for all of your hard work and positivity. We have been working on making things a little easier for new employees, especially when we've made an acquisition like SmartBrief. Appreciate your feedback, and hope you know it's something we're actively working on.

Pros

Holiday, the people around you, the attempt at being caring.

Cons

Values are only reflected on power points, anything else is basically managed by staff.

Compensation for our staff is a constant conversation at Future, and not something ever taken lightly. Negotiating your position, responsibilities, and pay is something done on a regular basis with every staff member, through tools like 121 and quarterly evaluations. A critical part of this process is built on the staff negotiating for themselves, which is made clear to everyone on a regular basis. Your accusation that we pay managers well above market average and staff well below is entirely inaccurate, but it's an understandable frustration if you believed this was the case as you were leaving. We all wish you well in your next position.

Pros

Leaving and never having to deal with such poor management again

Cons

SmartBrief is an absolute joke of a company. Could write an essay on why but the other comments sum it up and I don’t want to waste any more time even thinking about how bad it was.

SmartBrief's acquisition by Future wasn't as smooth as it could have been, for sure, but neither organisation has wanted anything other than great success for this team. It's regrettable you had such a sour experience, but please know this is something the entire People & Culture team has been working to address.
