Thanks for your thoughts. We're glad you enjoyed working autonomously. Your comment about working from home is a difficult one. It's actually one of the top reasons why people like working at Frontiers. But of course, people have different preferences and our internal events team was established to facilitate connections in a hybrid working environment.

Pros

- Flexible working hours. - Reasonable salary comapred to the market. - Work from home. - Ability to work abroad. - The people. Never have I worked in a job where I felt so comfortable with my colleagues. Even thought I'm no longer with Frontiers, I have made lifelong friendships.

Cons

- No clear strategy or direction. - Unreasonable and unrealistic targets. - No read advancement opportunities. - Upper management doesn't listen to their employees. - Terrible communication from upper management. - Too focused on quantity rather than quality. - Terrible management of the company by C-level which resullts in a mass layoff of one-third of the company.

Pros

The people are amazing. Pay is ok but no pay reviews or bonuses for 2 years Remote working Benefits are ok

Cons

Outdated 40 hour working week meaning flexible working is impossible. No strategy, or forward planning. Reckless decision making without thinking about consequences. Despite making 600 redundant and loosing an extra 200 on top, company is still unstable. Toxic positivity and no transparency Shameful upper management with non existent leadership skills Employees expected to clean up the mess made by incompetent managers. I would urge anyone considering applying for a position to turn and RUN!

Thanks for sharing your comments. Building a supportive and flexible work environment is very important for us. We operate a standard 40-hour working week, but within that we prioritize personal choice about how you manage time to ensure the right work-life balance for you. We work exceptionally hard on our strategy and involve all teams in the finalization and execution of it. And it has served us well, allowing us to climb the ranks and become of the top most impactful open access publishers today.
