Pros

- remote work - decent work-life balance (at least in my team) - development opportunities (if you have some initiative you will find interesting options) Plus I have some great human beings in my team :)

Cons

- very dynamic, sometimes even chaotic environment. I get that the company was going through a lot of changes recently, but the uncertainty is tiring.

Frontiers Response

Thank you for your review - we are really happy to hear that you took advantage of the development opportunities on offer. We are an incredibly dynamic and agile organization but yes, this year has been hard. Hope you'll agree that it is starting to settle and our strategy for 2025 is in place? If things still feel disruptive, please reach out to your People Business Partner so we can understand better how to support you.
