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.
