Business outlook

Pros

- Salary is pretty competitive, although large discrepancies between external and internal recruitment - immediate managers are generally intuitive and supportive within the framework offered - true remote working model - UK company perks such as life assurance, medical are very good

Cons

- company restructure was handled really poorly, with little concern for welfare outside of “refer to our support document or email the support email.” Changes in discussion to final offers - workloads are stressful and not viable long term resulting in vast scale sickness, stress and unhappiness - long work hours, with no leui time. There is an expectation to work outside of hours including weekends - matrix structure is confusing with newly graduated managers with no Management experience heading these up - repeated U-turns that give whiplash to the whole company

Frontiers Response

Thank you for you feedback. We are sorry to hear that you didn't feel the restructure was handled well. These processes are exceptionally difficult and we worked very hard to communicate multiple times a week, while simultaneously abiding by local regulations in over 20 countries. Day-to-day, we are fast-moving company and we do adapt to market changes quickly and decisively. We'd like to clarify that no employee is ever expected to work longer than 40 hours per week and certainly never on weekends. If you would like to share more information on this please contact feedback.ta@frontiersin.org.
