Pros

Unlimited annual leave, if you can get it. Although don’t take too much as you will get flagged….

Cons

I can honestly say this is the worst company I have worked for in my whole life. It’s hard to say there is a culture, because there isn’t, but it’s toxic. The work life balance is unsustainable. Redundancies are done on if they like you or not, not off the back of your capability. I have seen it so many times. You are either “in” or not and if you’ve come in via an acquisition and they don’t like your salary, you are out. There are a hell of a lot of suspiciously good reviews on here, which is not surprising as the leadership team have each been asked to get 3 of their staff to do good reviews. I have been told there is an internal tracker with links to each review so they know who has done what! LOL. What a mockery. The place is chaos. The CEO changes reporting lines every 5mins and the back office systems and org charts never catch up. For a company with nearly 3k employees manual org charts do not work. Many of my colleagues who were brilliant ended up taking time off for burn out. It’s funny, the best CRO for a 4billion FTSE 250 company ended up being the CEO’s early thirties brother, what are the chances?

We're sad to hear about your experience working at Future and would like to clarify a few essential points in response to your review. First, we believe wholeheartedly in a healthy work/ life balance. We strongly encourage our colleagues to leverage the Unlimited Vacation benefit as much as possible. Second, as we're constantly growing and looking for new talent to join Future, we indeed do ask our colleagues to leave reviews about their experience on Glassdoor to help showcase what it's like to work here. We don't track them — and with good employee engagement ratings overall, we're not surprised by a fair share of positive reviews making their way to this platform. Third, we are proud of the talented individuals working at Future; our multi-phased interview approach, skills assessment, and unbiased hiring decisions govern our hiring process when appointing someone to a role here. Last, we're proud of our approach to pay. This year put fair, above-average cost of living increases into effect months ahead of the new year, ensuring people take home more pay during a challenging economic time and before the holidays.

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!)
