Pros

- nice office - flexible wfh - unlimited holiday - good compensation but not worth it for what my mental state was like while working at future

Cons

- people seemed quite inexperienced but very opinionated and would throw you under the bus if something went wrong - unclear direction on role with no equipment/resources to achieve high-quality creative work - weekend work and WhatsApp messages outside of work hours
