Pros

The people are nice. Benefits are good, or were when I left in 2013. You don't have to work very hard, but then again neither do your coworkers...and sometimes that means you're the only one on your staff who's really trying.

Cons

It's so depressing. They keep changing their minds as to the company's goals, focus, and strategy. Leaders don't lead. Good people will leave a team and just not be replaced, or replaced with reassigned people from elsewhere in the company who aren't interested in doing much but showing up, watching TV, and collecting a paycheck. I left before entire departments were eliminated and their jobs taken over by the home office in England. I hear it's gotten worse since then.

Pros

Talented people all around, relaxed dress and conduct codes, relatively nice office space with a beautiful view

Cons

Huge disconnect between management and basically everyone else. I routinely worked nights and weekends while managers walked out at 5pm on the dot beaming, "Have a nice weekend!" as they went. This would have been way less galling had they made better financial decisions. Remember Ball Hype? Of course not. So why did Future pay a million dollars for it? Just one example out of many options.
