We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback, thank you. We enjoy the flexibility working at Future allows, too. We're certainly an acquisitive company and will always look at opportunities to grow through acquisition, but the heart of our business is our people and content, which together allow us to reach and grow our audience and we're sorry that may not have been made clear. We are working to make improvements across our business and should you ever wish to get in touch, please feel free to contact us directly.

Pros

- Everyone is super engaged with their work - Teams meet and share their progress regularly - Remote work that respects your timezone

Cons

- Unbearable amounts of micromanagement - Questionable journalistic ethics, e.g. "reviewing" products that have merely been unboxed and photographed, as well as excessive AI authorship - Extremely misleading work expectations — was told in interviews that I would be working on one story per day, resigned when I was expected to handle more than 15 in a week - Very reluctant to grant PTO or sick days — work "missed" while off is expected to be made up for twofold, and I was told at one point while sick with the stomach flu to "get over it" and "just work on 'easy' stuff today"
