      Great employees, terrible direction

      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.
