Frontiers reviews

Frontiers used to be one of the best places to work for. However, things gradually started getting worse after a certain point. My review here is a bit of a repetition to what others have already said: 1) continuous changes in our processes that after a certain point it was happening on a bi-weekly basis. 2)Policies in the peer review process that started becoming more and more aggressive towards our audiences.3) lack of transparency from senior management became the status quo for us (e,g saying or even promising something on a departmental meeting and then a few weeks later doing the exact opposite), 4) micro-management policies became the bread and butter constant for everyone by senior management. In general at this point it is such a pity that things ended up like this. It used to be such a nice place to work at.

After the redundancies, there is a lot more of control. No autonomy to make decisions. Chiefs are digging into things when they need to concentrate in their roles. They keep recognizing the same people. There is a focus now on making this company the "amazon" of the publishers when Amazon is one of the worst companies to work for. Top leadership needs a huge change. They need to find solutions for the current situation.
