Pros

Leftovers of talent and technology from previously acquired companies.

Cons

The company operates on a very simple principle - it's an advertisement driven content farm fueled by false/inaccurate self-marketing and driven by low-paid employees. There is no product, there is no path for growth, there is no vision outside of acquiring more and more companies, firing whole product/business/engineering teams, and dumping all content into their semi-functional platform from the 90s. If you are an engineer - your skills will stagnate, there is nothing to learn. If you are a product person - well, I'm sorry, but you are no longer with the company - no need for product team when there is no product :) The only good people left at the company are the content team - and even they had to unionize in order to get some protection. Future is known for getting rid of people left and right, without any reason or advance notice.

As a member of that new generation you have a glimmer of hope for, I'm going to first say thanks for highlighting some of the areas we as a company need to improve from a tech perspective. There's always room for internal growth, new systems and new technologies to help improve the entire company. And it's unfortunate you didn't feel like you were a part of that process, because had you felt that way I think you might have seen things differently. As part of that new generation you mentioned, I've seen huge ways to improve the platform you are so unhappy with and the people we've shown those changes to have been nothing but supportive. The change you are so vocally lamenting the absence of is right here, being coordinated and implemented as I write this. There are a lot of people very excited about what is happening next for the tech driving all of of the Future websites, and a lot of it is coming from the teams we've acquired so rapidly over the last year or more. It's not immediate change, for sure, but it's happening and it's a shame you're no longer a part of it.
