Pros

Unlimited paid holiday CMS is easy to use

Cons

3 days a week in the office is so, so unnecessary and I cannot stress this enough. With the cost of living crisis this makes it so much more painful having to pay to get the train in. My particular job role requires a lot of concentration and working in the office is so distracting and unproductive. Working from home is great and I really don't understand why people who want to WFH can't just do it as much as they like, especially if it's more productive. The CEO pretends it's to do with the 'culture' when really it's a way to justify renting the overpriced offices. All I hear in the office is people saying how stressed they are and how annoying it is having to come in. Please do something about this, it could be a good place to work if there was more flexiblilty.

Hi, Thanks very much for the review, we believe the unlimited paid holiday is a great perk too! Thank you for your feedback on working from home, we know it is difficult adjusting after we have all been working from home throughout the pandemic, however we truly believe that collaboration is key for our organisation to succeed, and working together in-person is a big part of that. We never want our employees to struggle financially which is why during the pandemic we set up a hardship fund that paid out over £35,000 to our colleagues. If you are struggling financially and need support please do contact us directly at ThePeopleTeam@futurenet.com. Take Care, The People Team

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"
