Futurex reviews

* The public faces of the company tend to... "over-hype" things. It's very common for them to talk about having lots of rapid growth and momentum going forward, however I have heard nothing in regards to revenue loss until I was one of the 25% or so people that recently got laid off. I recall asking my tech lead during my performance review what I could improve on. He recommended research into machine learning. He didn't mention anything about me being a potential candidate for a layoff. That would've been nice to know, but I suppose 1 month might be asking a bit too much time in advance. And he did have basically the biggest team of people under him at the time. * The building I was in was one of those ModSpace buildings. Each time it rained, leaks popped up everywhere, but the caretaker has been busy trying to address them as of late. The bathrooms would likely probably make a former germophobe cringe, but their condition could be attributed to the fact that there were like 20 people sharing two bathrooms in one building. Still usable, but they get dirty quick. In addition, there was some THING living underneath my cubicle that made audible scratching and noises on occasion. Often enough to disturb me from my work. If you ask the apps guys about "Chuck", they'll have more details. From what I hear, the engineering department may soon be moving to a new building while the old one is "dealt with", so these complaints may be rather pointless in the near future. * Some of the amenities are kind of overrated. I've never seen anyone in the Texas-shaped swimming pool. We have a tennis court, but I haven't seen anyone use that either. The basketball court got use sometimes, but I guess that might be because it's closer to our building and newer. The cabin is a nice little hangout, but pretty much the only time anyone could really enjoy anything in the cabin was during lunch (wherein you'd only have 15-20 minutes depending where/how fast you eat) or after work when everyone had more entertaining things to do at home anyway. A lot of engineers just wound up in the conference room of the apps building after lunch, just talking. I wonder if they'd congregate around a game of Mariokart 64 in the cabin like I had in the suggestion box a while back....

-Code is really buggy -Only young people work here which means nobody really stays long -Salaries is bad I was under the impression that this company would be great to work for but oh was I wrong.....They straight up lie about a lot of things. They cheat when it comes to the voting process for best company to work for........ as not very many people were excited to work here. The people here were very cool though and I would hang out with many of them outside of work however thats one of the few pros. It would be in most peoples best interest to try for another company who pays better, has better code and has a better reputation. Also the ghost reviews on here are hilarious. This company doesn't deserve 1 star but in no way does it deserve 5 stars. If you are thinking to apply for this place, just be careful, most of the time they aren't actually looking to hire anyone even though they will post job offers all of the place on the internet. I was just lucky enough to actually get hired when they were actually looking for people. What they plan to happen is to get their name more well known and make it seem like they are hard to get into. You'll see this throughout the stages of the interview. First at around 4 hours and 20 minutes after sending your application you'll receive an invitation to attend an online webinar talking about them, then you receive a code sample to fix, then if they are "impressed" with the code sample that you send them back, you'll get an onsite interview of which majority of the time they will take about themselves and give almost no interest in you as an individual, then if thy were actually looking for people you'll get a low offer with no negotiation, then a tour(I was told you get the tour regardless if if you get an offer) My advice is to apply other places and only apply to Futurex if you can't get a job anywhere else
