Pros

Great immediate team members and managers

Cons

This is my second review but I had to share this. Frontiers responded to my initial review with “As an organisation, we make data-based decisions and have an extensive understanding of our market.” During my time with Frontiers, I was extensively involved with data engineering and analysis and I saw certain promises that Frontiers made, specifically regarding employee incentives, as a cheap ploy to garner favour, when in reality, the data did not support any of their claims. I have since gone on to work in data analysis full time.

Pros

I was lucky enough to be part of a great team with highly capable individuals who could not deliver at their potential due to the lack of understanding of our job from management and senior management.

Cons

(Senior) Management - from poorly trained individuals to persons being rude for the sake of it (not just my experience reflects this) Lack of responsibility - just throwing the important decisions from one team to another taking months to end up with a decision. Lack of compassion and transparency - in the process of making redundant 600 people. Lack of accountability - I waited for 6 months the decision to be promoted, which was always postponed and in the end I was made redundant. Every time I was asking about it the manager of my team was blaming the senior manager, while the senior manager said he only heard about it once or twice in those 6 months. If you do the work for less money, great for them. Poor work-life balance for some teams, especially for those under manager level. Management and senior management taking decisions opposed to C-level guidance and once found out, asking the employee to re-do the work and blaming them for "not understanding" what was required even if in internal meetings it was clearly communicated that we are going against the recommendations. Management ready to complain about what you deliver, even if you stick to the brief from the stakeholder. Very poor understanding of stakeholder management. Hiding under the rug mentality all over the company.

Thank you for taking the time to share feedback with us. Your observations are noted, and we are very disappointed to hear about your experience with management. This is a key focus for us and we have just launched a new management training program to further develop skills for all of our people managers.
