Pros

Amazing teams - work hard, always happy and friend. A good atmosphere in the office Annual Bonus Great holiday allowance Plenty of help to progress in the company

Cons

Massive work load and the company is constantly expanding however with my expanding work load does NOT come an increase in pay or appreciation for absorbing the work load.

Thanks so much for adding your positivity to the world! You’re absolutely right about the massive changes at Future this year. We’ve grown a lot, and growth means change for everyone. But to help with that, we’ve also been paying a great deal more, both in our end of the year bonuses and by continuing to earn our Living Wage accreditation in the UK. There’s always room for us to improve, but a lot of that improvement is also going to come from the rush of new ideas and personalities from our exciting new co-workers!

Pros

I work for the organization formerly known as Mobile Nations, which Future acquired and is now the division called Future Labs. So this review is basically of my experience at Mobile Nations, now part of Future. I don't have much experience with the company yet, but what I have seen, including a company-wide US conference last month, has been positive. Impressive and transparent leadership team Ability to work remotely Amazing stable of publications and websites Incredibly passionate and hard-working team Willingness to try new things

Cons

Again, I don't have much experience with Future yet, but first impression is that it's a very large company and maybe not the most agile at times.

One of the best things about the people we’ve incorporated into the Future fam over the last couple of years is the unique perspectives they bring to this larger organization. And yeah, generally speaking larger companies aren’t going to move quite as quickly as smaller teams. But thanks to people like you, we can work together to identify ways to improve and grow together. Basically, thanks for being a part of the team. Please don’t ever hesitate to share you thoughts on how we can all be better

Pros

Free lunch once a month

Cons

Management do not listen or respect your advice You're sold a work life balance, but when you start they put the handcuffs on and you are very rarely allowed to work from home. Management take no accountability and abuse the work/life balance system. Very little structure or direction Management seem very incompetent when it comes to technology and the digital market. No room or opportunity for learning and growth They will overwork you and underpay you

I have been sitting on my couch for hours after reading this trying to find these handcuffs you are talking about. I thought about going into the office today, because it’s Taco Tuesday and my office gets a little silly with the shop down the way, but it was really cold outside this morning so I’m sat here working instead. No one is “just a number” here. Do you know how hard it would be to message anyone on Slack if I had to look up numbers instead of names? What a nightmare that would be. Anyway, I sure hope it’s warmer out tomorrow, my office is getting together for drinks after work, and the company is paying! How cool is that?
