      Pros

      Talented, passionate, collaborative colleagues across editorial teams

      Cons

      Senior management communications atrocious prior to, throughout and post acquisition; unrealistic expectations on impact of acquisition and redundancies; redundancy process abysmal - no respect for brand's past nor the contribution of the editorial team; not enough consultation on role and responsibility changes; under-appreciated from start to finish; gimmicky values, full of clichés that don't mean anything.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We recognise that an acquisition process can be a very turbulent time. Acquisitions is a large part of our business strategy, as such we really welcome your feedback in terms or improving this in the future, please feel free to send this to peopleandculture@futurenet.com. We are actively trying to improve our Company communications, in fact we are in the process of appointing a Communications Manager who will lead the evolution of this.

      Pros

      shiny looking website they spent an exuberant amount of money on

      Cons

      They exploit their employees ferociously. If you love yourself or your life - do not work for this company. Clients - don't sign up! They do programs and pretend it's custom. They spend hundreds of thousands to hire new shiny CEOs but pay their coaches around $40k/year to maintain 100 clients. You are not special - they just put up a lot of metrics to pretend to make you feel that way. No coach can actually connect with 100 clients and write a personalized program. That's why the "management" pushes coaches to use as many templates as they can. They do big lay offs of any coaches who don't want to maintain 100+ people. They also are actively working to use any/all Apple Watch data to sell and use in any way they can monetize. So DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR APPLE WATCH DATA. It's smoke and mirrors and not anything actually useful (especially for the pricepoint they are asking!)
