Pros

The caliber of talent at Future US was truly impressive, and in general people came to the table with a desire to work hard and provide value, both to their readers and corporate clients.

Cons

As the US division of a UK parent company, coordination and communication with stakeholders was inconsistent at best and often problematic, leading to a lack of clarity around goals and priorities.

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"
