      Fire before Start sick by Covid

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I don't know anyone because I never go to the office. I cant go to the office or company a minute

      Cons

      I was going to start to the company on Monday and I fell sick with COVID-19 the previous weekend and they call me on Tuesday and fire me before start. That is not a good sign from the company if they treat their future employees like that. I am a little bit disappointment because it seemed like a good place to work and I refused other offers to work in this company.

      Thank you for your comment and feedback. Frontiers employs over 700 people and many have been affected either directly or indirectly by COVID 19 over the course of the past eighteen months. Each has been supported with care and respect; we are sorry you did not feel this was extended to you however please rest assured your sickness was not the reason your employment was terminated. Frontiers has a flexible working policy that we are proud of, which supports a host of flexible working options for our employees but as a responsible employer we are bound by contractual terms within our employment agreements too. Your location changed after signing your employment agreement meaning terms were infringed and sadly, we could not reach a compromise with regards to your country of work. After legal consultation we made the difficult decision to terminate your contract. We regret that you feel the reasons for our decision were not clear and hope this explanation offers more clarity; we welcome you to get in touch directly should you want to discuss further. We wish you all the best for the future.

      Surrounded by kindhearted colleagues who I feel are undervalued

      Journal development specialist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will work within smaller teams who are all highly supportive and really competent making getting to grips with your role a challenging-breeze. In this role you will have inspiring line-managers who work hard on a good team culture as well as trying to motivate you to reach for your own goals and well as the company's. You can develop lots of transferable skills in communication and sales to aid you in your next step.

      Cons

      The major downside of working at Frontiers, in my opinion, is Senior Management's insistence on ignoring the elephant in the room: the capabilities and academic qualifications of their staff who are spending 60% of their time doing basic admin a well-trained robot could do. The lack of transparency on this front led me to be resentful of management who show you the CV developing projects you can enjoy in the 5% of your time you have left (in fairness the 25% unaccounted for is where you communication skills bloom), but only after you are left feeling demotivated and unsatisfied by the majority of work. The 60% I am talking about did not suit me because repetitive and time-efficient are not my middle names - I am more of a creative and time-effective type. - Good Luck!
