      Zero-vision, no-product content farm

      Technology

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Leftovers of talent and technology from previously acquired companies.

      Cons

      The company operates on a very simple principle - it's an advertisement driven content farm fueled by false/inaccurate self-marketing and driven by low-paid employees. There is no product, there is no path for growth, there is no vision outside of acquiring more and more companies, firing whole product/business/engineering teams, and dumping all content into their semi-functional platform from the 90s. If you are an engineer - your skills will stagnate, there is nothing to learn. If you are a product person - well, I'm sorry, but you are no longer with the company - no need for product team when there is no product :) The only good people left at the company are the content team - and even they had to unionize in order to get some protection. Future is known for getting rid of people left and right, without any reason or advance notice.

      As a member of that new generation you have a glimmer of hope for, I'm going to first say thanks for highlighting some of the areas we as a company need to improve from a tech perspective. There's always room for internal growth, new systems and new technologies to help improve the entire company. And it's unfortunate you didn't feel like you were a part of that process, because had you felt that way I think you might have seen things differently. As part of that new generation you mentioned, I've seen huge ways to improve the platform you are so unhappy with and the people we've shown those changes to have been nothing but supportive. The change you are so vocally lamenting the absence of is right here, being coordinated and implemented as I write this. There are a lot of people very excited about what is happening next for the tech driving all of of the Future websites, and a lot of it is coming from the teams we've acquired so rapidly over the last year or more. It's not immediate change, for sure, but it's happening and it's a shame you're no longer a part of it.

      Fun job with really great people

      Pros

      I work for the division of Future called Future Labs, formerly known as Mobile Nations. We're new to the Future umbrella, but in my time with Future Labs/Mobile Nations, the team I've worked with is A++ across the board. Diverse backgrounds and philosophies but we all respect each other and put out great work. Working remotely is a plus too. Get your work done and there will be no problems.

      Cons

      I switched industries to work here and took a pay cut, so of course I wish I made a little more, but I'm optimistic that will work itself out. Other than a modest entry level income start, I don't have any cons.

      Pros

      If I can find any it would be the PTO policy.

      Cons

      Management doesn’t care about the employees. Systems are horrible. Management doesn’t have a clue and constantly has to put out fires. This is the worse company I ever worked for.

      Hey, you know what? Every system has room for improvement. Ours are no different. And while I certainly wouldn’t describe anything about our work environment as being “on fire” we have a leadership team that is passionate about making sure everyone is happy doing their part in moving all of us forward as a company. While it’s a shame we weren’t able to find an ideal solution for your contributions, thanks for complimenting our PTO policies. When you combine that with our many other benefits, I’d like to think we offer a pretty sweet place to be the best version of you.
