Nice team and some very smart people

Cons

Anxiety permeates from the top down, it’s disguised in positive language and can-do posturing but it’s rooted in aggressive anxiety

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed working with your team. Last year did cause some anxiety as we went through an uncertain period with redundancies. However we have stabilized and our usual positive and motivating culture is back in place.

We’re pleased to hear you appreciate our work-from-home options. We'd like to clarify that our performance framework is 100% meritocratic and every employee has individual targets to monitor their contributions. Please reach out to your manager or People Business Partner to clarify this. Our management team holds extensive business knowledge and industry experience, and have led Frontiers to become one of the largest and most impactful publishers on our mission to make science open.
