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

Casual, flexible atmosphere conducive to creativity Previous management was slow to transition from legacy media and out-of-date business practices, but the people in charge now seem to know what's up and are taking us in the right direction The US business is built on massive brands and platforms but is small in terms of personnel, so there is ample opportunity for individuals to have an impact, make a difference, and advance Very flexible in terms of hours, working from home, and scheduling time off

Cons

Although Future has turned a corner and is making great strides in the right direction, it's still a company in transition so some things are being figured out as we go. This isn't so much a critique as an unavoidable fact for a company that's turning things around. Benefits used to be better, although I'm not sure how today's package stacks up to what other companies normally offer
