      A great place to work that's on the up.

      Pros

      Great company to work for, offers lots of opportunities for upward progression and growth. Feels like there's a lot of forward momentum at the momentum and recent share price increases are a great indication of our relative success vs the wider publishing market. Hard work is definitely rewarded.

      Cons

      Cafe Food is hit and miss. Would be great to have more out of work company benefits e.g. deals agreed with local businesses for discounts for Future Employees.

      Thank you for your great feedback. We are really happy that you have a great experience working at Future. We encourage the growth of our employees within their field. This growth ensures the continuing success of Future. We are constantly trying to increase the amount of information shared within the company, with more shared comms; conferences and town-hall events. We hope these actions taken will keep all of our people engaged in local and company wide initiatives and abreast of important announcements. Furthermore we encourage everyone coming to their People & Culture Partner or line manager with feedback. Being able to improve our ‘Ways of Working’ with feedback, will make Future a better place for everyone.

      Things are good and then...Surprise, you are laid off.

      Pros

      -Loved everyone I worked with face to face. -You can play video games at work and no one will think twice. -Depending on your role, you will get lots of free stuff (games, tech). Even if your not in editorial, you will still get free stuff now and again. -Opportunities to work at gaming and tech conferences around North America and sometimes get rock star treatment while you are there. -Life/work balance is amazing. - Try new tech and games before the public does. -Get to work with PC Gamer, TechRadar and GamesRadar -The office space is cool and in a great location (though they are talking about moving.... again) -Catered lunch on Wednesdays (but not the swanky 415 you see in the pictures, they cut that) -Lots of snacks and different drinks.

      Cons

      -At Future US you can get laid off at any moment. No warning, no whispers. Even high management will not know it is going to happen until its already over. -Employees are constantly asked to do more with less. -The top execs in the UK make decisions without telling anyone. -They will lay off workers but then buy seemingly useless media properties. -The US no longer has HR. (cause they laid them off) So now HR is ADP and one woman in the UK... -Getting a raise is almost laughable. -There is little communication between the US and UK teams. It can sometimes feel like "us verses them." -Every time you think things are looking up they seem to fall right back down.
