      Pros

      Benefits, flexibility, culture, work socials, remote

      Cons

      Probably not the best person to ask. I really enjoyed working here. Those made redundant early this year might feel differently.

      Great employees, terrible direction

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Full-Remote, great colleagues, the lower and middle management try their best to stay close to the teams

      Cons

      The CEO only wants feedback that fit her narrative rather than the truth. Which in turn leads the C-Level board and all subsequent upper management to block genuine facts and feedback in order to please her. Also, transparency is far from being in the company culture. Concepts are used in a cynical way as checkbox exercises rather than for what they mean (Agile never meant chaotic). And using buzzwords does not replace a strategy. Neither does starting a project with no defined success metrics, just because it is "fashionable". In the midst of all that, what suffers the most is research, as it prevents very talented employees to deliver work at full potential and adapt in order to fulfill the mission of making research more easily accessible.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As a data-driven organization we are very surprised by your review. We have an incredibly detailed, data-driven 1, 5 and 10-year strategy and every team and individual within Frontiers has SMART goals aligned to the strategy. We measure everything and follow the numbers. We have also just launched our Continuous Improvement Hub - a new platform that allows our employees to submit feedback and ideas. In the first month since it's launch, we have nearly 100 new suggestions that 200 colleagues have volunteered to collaborate on.

      Shifting Sands

      Pros

      Wonderful immediate colleagues & remote work - that's about it.

      Cons

      * No pay raises for 2+ years * No exciting internal mobility opportunities * No empathy towards employees * Internal politics * No transparency * No more transfers to different EU countries (even with valid reasons) - you can move from a country that pays higher salaries to a country that pays lower salaries but NOT vice versa. It is definitely not a place to stick to if you join the company with dreams and hope (like I once did).

      Thank you for your review. Our people are at the heart of everything we do and we work hard to prioritize transparent and frequent internal communication. Our leaders use a lot of different communication channels: weekly MS Teams posts, monthly CEO updates, an internal newsletter, OKR reviews, quarterly department reviews, open doors sessions, and our quarterly company-wide meeting. Individual managers also communicate through weekly team meetings, monthly department meetings, and 1:1s and everything is documented and open to read. This year we also introduced progression pathways to provide every individual with even clearer growth opportunities and a roadmap for their career advancement.
