      We love our clients too - when we say we're part of the audience and part of the community we mean every audience we serve: readers, advertisers, colleagues. It's great to hear that you really felt this. We know we've got some work to do when it comes to making the career progression in Future clearer for people - when you've grown through as many acquisitions as we have, it can get a little complex. We've just started the first part of that piece of work by defining our job families and we think that and the other stuff we have planned will really help people see where in Future they can make their career fly.

      Scaremongering & bad management

      Account director

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They were happy to pay out bonus and always seemed to be monetary benefits

      Cons

      Upper management didn’t seem to have a grasp on any contacts within agencies and never listened to people that did. It was such a corporate company, there was no room for fun and expenses were basically taken away.

      No room for fun is really not fun at all and certainly not something we're happy about. You spend so much of your life at work, you have to feel like there's enjoyment to be had right? Being in lockdown really got in the way of this and while we did loads of stuff online, it doesn't really come close to a bake sale or a quiz night in the local bar or kicking a ball around as part of the office football team of an evening. That's why this year, we've focussed down on getting our office and interest communities back up and running. We think it'll really help people feel a part of something more than the job. We know that feeling like your opinion and expertise is listened to is important as well, that's why we're doing our first ever engagement survey and making sure off the back of it that managers really understand the benefits of listening to their people.

      Fast paced, full on, but with a human touch

      Pros

      Just great people - I've never been in a place where people are so enthusiastic and so willing to help you get the job done. This is a real Can Do place to be. There is great support from colleagues and management for balancing personal and work stuff - I have a kid with severe mental health difficulties and I could not wish for a better employer in terms of supporting me and my family throughout it. We've also got office communities starting again now after lockdown is over and they are organising all sorts of stuff to make everyone feel part of a team. VCP scheme is one of a kind - I don't know of any other organisation that plans to give you shares. For nothing. Three times. Yes, the org has to meet a threshold to achieve it but the fact that its not just the people at the top benefitting is pretty unique. And this is seperate from the Profit Pool annual bonus - again....everyone gets this. Everyone. Unlimited leave - as with all leave, it can mean inbox chaos when you come back but this is such a great perk in terms of managing out of the blue trips and activities Flexibility around working location - three days a week in the office and that can be any of our offices. Its so much better than we used to do before a great balance between home life and being with people and collaborating. Commute still sucks though.

      Cons

      It's full on and requires you to work at pace - and that can mean things like sitting down to work and realising its midday and you haven't eaten yet. Being back in an office helps with this. You do need to be comfortable with doing lots of different things at once and deadlines moving Work on career progression pathways and job families is only just starting - Future has bought so many organisations and changed so much so its great that this is happening now but its been frustrating for a few years not to know what your options really are internally
