      Thanks for your feedback. We're surprised by your comments about indecision and strategy. We have a very comprehensive, documented strategy - in place for many many years - and developed by more than 100 senior leaders from across the business. It has been shared extensively at company meetings, departmental meetings, and numerous emails. Our leadership team has guided this strategy and Frontiers is today one of the world's largest and most impactful academic publishers.

      Disaster, unsustainable projects lead to toxic environment

      Journal manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work from home most times.

      Cons

      This company is most of times looking for the next thing to be done differently, keeps changing priorities and creating unsustainable projects. The major consequence of this intense trial and error culture is that people easily get their projects emptied by the leadership and are left abandoned until they eventually leave the company.

      The desperate attitudes never end

      Journal specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The biggest pro was working remotely, but the new contracts are being done as hybrid. 28 off + 30 days working from another country is also cool.

      Cons

      The CEO has no experience managing a company this size. She is a scientist and that's it. She has random ideas that people have to execute, but at the same time she doesn't even know the most basic processes. Company structure changes every 6 months, bonus metrics always change. It is all done based on how desperate they are and what this desperation is related to. Bonus comment: we never get any bonus, and people don't have salary adjustments for 2 years, going to the third. Madness, right? Oh, before I forget, the career development there sucks! It is nearly impossible to progress.
