Too slow to change - Senior Editor Future Employee Review

Pros

Talented people all around, relaxed dress and conduct codes, relatively nice office space with a beautiful view

Cons

Huge disconnect between management and basically everyone else. I routinely worked nights and weekends while managers walked out at 5pm on the dot beaming, "Have a nice weekend!" as they went. This would have been way less galling had they made better financial decisions. Remember Ball Hype? Of course not. So why did Future pay a million dollars for it? Just one example out of many options.

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"
