Thanks so much for the positive feedback. Future as a whole has been focused on addressing diversity within our entire organisation in the last year. We've established a Diversity and Inclusion forum to encourage constant feedback from everyone. There's been an ongoing effort to evaluate all of our company policies to ensure we're hiring from a more inclusive stance and including more BIPOC in marketing and presentation materials. Change like this never happens as fast as we'd like, but it is happening and the process is constant and active.

Pros

Having support during this hard time from our CEO, it makes me feel cared and mentally relaxed that I have a great work environment. During the pandemic, our CEO has been very communicative and had offered us the best for keeping going at all levels (with work, homeschooling), I cannot being more grateful and cannot say thanks enough for that.

Cons

There are no cons from my side.

Pros

Leaving and never having to deal with such poor management again

Cons

SmartBrief is an absolute joke of a company. Could write an essay on why but the other comments sum it up and I don’t want to waste any more time even thinking about how bad it was.

Future Response

SmartBrief's acquisition by Future wasn't as smooth as it could have been, for sure, but neither organisation has wanted anything other than great success for this team. It's regrettable you had such a sour experience, but please know this is something the entire People & Culture team has been working to address.
