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Casual, flexible atmosphere conducive to creativity Previous management was slow to transition from legacy media and out-of-date business practices, but the people in charge now seem to know what's up and are taking us in the right direction The US business is built on massive brands and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

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"
