Pros

I finally came to my senses and left the company. You don't know how bad it really is until you're gone.

Cons

Sheer lack of direction. Lack of business. Titles close monthly. No joke. Print is dying and Future was too slow to get it. No digital business. Layoffs happening. I'd point out there is ZERO marketing done for future. Nobody knows who the company is nor any of their 'titles'. But the reality is, there's nothing to market.

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"
