      Pros

      Great company to work for, offers lots of opportunities for upward progression and growth. Feels like there's a lot of forward momentum at the momentum and recent share price increases are a great indication of our relative success vs the wider publishing market. Hard work is definitely rewarded.

      Cons

      Cafe Food is hit and miss. Would be great to have more out of work company benefits e.g. deals agreed with local businesses for discounts for Future Employees.

      Thank you for your great feedback. We are really happy that you have a great experience working at Future. We encourage the growth of our employees within their field. This growth ensures the continuing success of Future. We are constantly trying to increase the amount of information shared within the company, with more shared comms; conferences and town-hall events. We hope these actions taken will keep all of our people engaged in local and company wide initiatives and abreast of important announcements. Furthermore we encourage everyone coming to their People & Culture Partner or line manager with feedback. Being able to improve our ‘Ways of Working’ with feedback, will make Future a better place for everyone.

      Pros

      hhhhhmmm.... thinking..... still thinking.....aaaahhh..... Oh yes, they're in the centre of Bath - that's a con. There are some great staff there.

      Cons

      Always looking for cheapest ways of doing everything, how to cut costs to zero (including not getting staff in so over-resourcing current staff who end up working ridiculous hours and don't get a thanks). Blame games and non-collaboration. Current staff disillusioned, don't trust staff and fed up.

      We appreciate your feedback. We're always looking to take on board comments from our current and former employees in order to grow the business. We value the work of the team and we've always been determined to foster an environment that encourages collaboration, innovation and - most importantly - employee satisfaction. We strive to have a low-cost innovation model and so are selective in our investments. We appreciate that you may have had a difficult experience and would love for you to reach out to us and give us more information. As we said, we're always looking for ways in which we can improve the business. We're proud of our people and couldn't be happier with the success of our transformation strategy over the past few years. This is reflected in the satisfaction of our shareholders and employees alike.

      Pros

      Bagels on Fridays. Ample parking. Nice views of the Bay. Relaxed atmosphere. Close to the 101 freeway. Food trucks near by.

      Cons

      Parent company in the UK which made communication less than optimal along with cultural differences. Both UK and US businesses contracted heavily, shutting down publications, laying off scores of people. The US had been operating without any real vision of its own and lacked courage or the ability to move its products forward. It may be different now.
