Pros

The people at Future are innovative, creative and incredibly hard working. They invest so much more than time in the success of the content and products.

Cons

The UK drives what the US does as far as product and sales strategy. What works in the UK does not necessarily work in the US. Senior management also changes direction pretty frequently.

Pros

Deli on site. Casual clothing policy. Good subject matter / basis of company. Good office location. Some good staff.

Cons

Lots of redundancies. Over last couple of years, under recent management, gone towards a blame culture and don't discuss or listen to staff, making quick decisions. So much cost cutting, but expect staff to do same quality and often work late hours / weekends.
