Pros

Lots of interesting brands and content opportunities

Cons

Your job is never safe. They will always look to replace you with cheaper resources.

There has never once been an effort to replace anyone on any of our teams with cheaper resources. We value gifted work, and reward it appropriately. Future has a continuing focus on education and personal improvement for everyone in the company, as well as financial incentives when the company as a whole does well. It's unfortunate you had such a negative experience, but these accusations are without merit.

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.

The work can be fun but very little sense of security

Pros

The tech and music brands get to work with some cool stuff and gadgets you'd normally never have yourself Unlimited PTO policy Possibility of travel

Cons

Company policy doesn't allow merit-based raises, only annual cost-of-living / inflation pay increases every year. The only way to get a real raise is to get a promotion or change job position and job title. The company seems in constant flux from all the acquisitions and all the restructuring can be unsettling. Each buy out means the new people might be laid off, might replace the existing employees, or all of them get crammed in the same office. Lots of offices scattered across lots of time zones. Nearly all communication is done over email. Response time is usually slow because of the time differences.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of Future plc. We believe that all employees row the boat and we are very proud of our profit pool scheme which allows us to reward staff for their contribution to the business. We deliberately ensure that our targets are very clear so there is no ambiguity around this. Part of our business strategy is to grow via acquisition, which we realise means regular change - we recognise that this can be unsettling for employees. Throughout acquisition processes we try to provide as much clarity as possible to the business but encourage a business as usual approach. We value our employees greatly and want everyone to feel secure in their roles here. If you have queries, concerns or recommendations, please share with your People & Culture rep or email peopleandculture@futurenet.com.
