      Pros

      Unlimited holiday (in theory). Strong CEO and business model.

      Cons

      Salaries aren't that competitive for roles and other benefits aren't either. Unlimited holiday is a great perk but many staff feel discouraged from taking because of pressures from work. Lots of silos; a value is "we all row the same boat" but most people aren't on the same page, rather cliques exist from the various publications and companies that have acquired and there is no culture to overcome this. New mergers haven't been integrated properly so there is often duplication or conversely not enough resource to match capacity, and a lack of clarity of accountabilities/remit. Matrix organisation doesn't work for all business areas. Tendency to over-egg their position in media landscape. Lack of development opportunities.

      We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry you feel colleagues are discouraged from taking time off, we think it's important to have a break from work and everyone should feel they can take time off when they need it. As announced in the latest Town Hall we're working on more awareness of development and career opportunities and we encourage you to get in touch directly if you have any further suggestions.

      Pros

      It's a good job right out of college but not if you have any experience

      Cons

      ~ For starters, they're offering a 4% cost of living increase when inflation is at 8-9%, all while announcing they're acquiring a new company. ~ CEO gets pissed when you raise any level of constructive criticism ~ Health care is subpar ~ Minimal opportunities for professional growth Bottom line: If your company is acquired by Future, RUN. The only thing they do worse than regular management is acquisitions. High turnover is for a reason!

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear you don't feel the pay review was adequate. Over the last few years we've given all colleagues an annual pay rise that, on average, has been in-line with inflation. We understand the cost of living has experienced an extreme rise, which is why we brought our pay review forward several months to help people cope earlier. Career progression and development is something we're currently working on, if you have suggestions on opportunities you'd like to see please feel free to get in touch with us directly.
