Great company to work for

Payroll specialist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fully remote, team spread across Europe

Cons

Fully remote, I missed the face to face contact it may work for other people

Frontiers Response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. As you say, fully remote work doesn’t suit everyone, which is why we’re transitioning to a hybrid model in our key office locations and providing more face-to-face collaboration opportunities for all employees.
