      Pros

      You get to work with a specialist subject you are passionate about.

      Cons

      Management view employees as assets and are happy to see them worked into the ground, as long as magazines go to print on time. There is no respect for experience or ability, only what difference the staff make to the bottom line. Truly awful. Management does not share the workforce's passion for their subjects, leading to some incredibly bad decisions at the top level. It's no wonder their titles are in rapid decline. Having now sold of many titles (including profitable ones, for some reason!), Future are in their death throes. Avoid.

      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"
