Pros

Your working on exciting brands, Flexitime with options to WFH (If they trust you).

Cons

1. No job security (A lot of redundancies) 2. Company doesn't care about the staff (Your just a number that makes a number) 3. You're expected to work late around key events like Black Friday 4. High pressure from above 5. The company is constantly chasing money and forgetting about the users/products. 6. Poor Yes-man management 7. Backstabbing colleagues who are happy to throw you under the bus

We do recognise that Future has been through a challenging few years and, as you know, our people have worked tirelessly to turn the business around. We believe the benefit of this hard work is really starting to pay off and we are delighted to thank our employees in many ways including payment against the FY17 profit pool. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

Pros

- Everyone is super engaged with their work - Teams meet and share their progress regularly - Remote work that respects your timezone

Cons

- Unbearable amounts of micromanagement - Questionable journalistic ethics, e.g. "reviewing" products that have merely been unboxed and photographed, as well as excessive AI authorship - Extremely misleading work expectations — was told in interviews that I would be working on one story per day, resigned when I was expected to handle more than 15 in a week - Very reluctant to grant PTO or sick days — work "missed" while off is expected to be made up for twofold, and I was told at one point while sick with the stomach flu to "get over it" and "just work on 'easy' stuff today"
