Frontiers reviews

Poor leadership blew things up. Too reactive, with barely any cohesive planning. I've been working in a huge project and in the last year we had constant strategy changes, making it impossible to focus. And still we managed to improve the systems we were in charge. The gift we got? Arbitrary redundancies in our team. Really, it's like if they used dice rolls to choose these redundancies. And all due to very poor choices by upper management.

The problem with Frontiers is actually that they don't have a clear path to where they want to go in the IT side of the company. The higher IT management people are so wrong, that they actually are not in the capacity of analyzing the problems they are facing, i.e. if they have IT problem to solve, their solutions instead of focusing on business and add value to their products are just patches to create technologies (workarounds) in which thousand of professionals worked with before. Management is about focusing for getting value on your current product, you should not be influenced by technical nonsense's from i.e. Srcum Masters. Also, besides of focusing on powering their publishing brand with IT solutions, they are wasting so much resources and money trying to reinvent the wheel. In IT you can be really smart or really not smart going in the opposite direction, but they are not smart enough IMO..
