      Thanks for your feedback. We're surprised by your comments about indecision and strategy. We have a very comprehensive, documented strategy - in place for many many years - and developed by more than 100 senior leaders from across the business. It has been shared extensively at company meetings, departmental meetings, and numerous emails. Our leadership team has guided this strategy and Frontiers is today one of the world's largest and most impactful academic publishers.

      Disaster, unsustainable projects lead to toxic environment

      Journal manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work from home most times.

      Cons

      This company is most of times looking for the next thing to be done differently, keeps changing priorities and creating unsustainable projects. The major consequence of this intense trial and error culture is that people easily get their projects emptied by the leadership and are left abandoned until they eventually leave the company.
