Where do I start. My company was acquired by Future and the work experience went downhill immediately. I loved my company and my work prior to the takeover, but post-takeover morale suffered across the board. Future doesn't care about individual employees. No raises or promotions are ever encouraged or offered, there are no career advancement opportunities whatsoever. Communication is a definite failure. Future doesn't address rumors until they are out of control, and only then do they send out a basic email with no information. You must wait weeks to hear back from IT and HR. An average of 2 weeks for IT (I've been tracking). Layoffs every few months, with very poor severance packages. Absolutely no local resources. If a computer breaks, you must contact someone in IT across the world to fix it. HR asked us to send SSNs through email (which isn't secure or legal). HR also lied to us about W2 information. They forgot to apply for State employer numbers and encouraged us to simply put a 9999999 as the number (also illegal). If the HR personnel doesn't know the answer to a question they will either give you false information repeatedly until you call them on it with proof, OR say (and I quote): "I don't know, hopefully you do". They don't bother to find information for you at all. Payroll "forgot" to transfer funds to our 401ks for multiple pay periods, and remedied the situation only after multiple employees noticed their funds were missing. During the acquisition period, entire offices didn't receive paychecks due to delays and healthcare coverage was delayed everywhere else. Future is very "cheap" and doesn't want to foot the bill for even basic programs like MS office. 401K contributions are a 2.5% match up to 6%, less than other companies I've worked for. The NYC office of Future US has unionized and received very little support from management (which makes sense at this point). Future isn't recognizing the union and instead continues to cram too many employees into a tiny office (to save on costs). This means that every square foot of space is occupied, people must share desks (a method called hot desking meaning first come first serve), and there are too many employees to fit into the office at one time, so there is a work from home system so as to not upset the fire code. It's absolute chaos.
I don't recommend working for this company. My family and friends are shocked I still work here, considering the sheer number of snafus that have happened. The environment is too unpredictable and you'll receive very little support.
