Research Research Research - Senior Editor Alphabet Media Employee Review

good benefits, great collaboration among team members

There are no cons that I can think of

Very talented editorial team that truly understands how governments work No doubt a brand name that is much loved by very senior government civil servants and IT companies

While the brand name is still strong, there are obvious signs that FutureGov is starting to lose some of that brand equity with both groups due to severe mismanagement. Poor leadership who does little or no business planning. Has the tendency to schedule events ad-hoc creating havoc across multiple functions within the company. Increasingly common for events to be withdrawn or shifted at the last minute. Staff morale is at all time low with resignations and terminations (some highly questionable cases) happening at shocking speeds. Too many stories of staff being short-changed - deductions of pay, missing commission payouts, unfair dismissals. No health and travel insurance. Long wait for commissions, sometimes up to almost 6 months - too many staff leave before they get the payout. Annual leave calculation is unheard of - entitlement is not pro rated back to when you join the company, but when you are confirmed. This means that at the start of your 5th month of employment (probation is for 4 months) you are entitled to zero annual leave. They start counting only from the time you are confirmed.
